That's great that you can get that out of your system and the poem is beautiful.
My daughter and I are very close. She says I'm not only a mom she loves but a best friend as well.
My mom and I aren't close. We've had our issues. But for the most part, she and my dad have been there for me when I needed them.
I'm so sorry about your brother.

You rest easy and take good care of yourself!!!
