25. He was my baby brother's age too

May 2021

My brother died suddenly 2 years ago March. He was 57 and was 6 months out from the day since his job was eliminated. He lived in my home town and I live in Europe. It was pre-covid so I flew back to be with my family. It destroyed our family and I don’t ever want to see them again. He was my Mother’s favorite and I’m angry he left too soon. I miss him.

I’m very sorry for your loss. He sounded like a great guy. It made me mad that he had to teach at several schools like that too. Why aren’t teachers respected? I don’t get it. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
