would like it to go in the underguide if its good enough

This is powerful. The sense of your brother's loss just hits the reader. I don't know what else to say, except that time does heal, but the scar remains.

If I was going to be pedantic, I could pick up a couple of grammatical errors. But they don't lessen the force of this.

I quite agree that this is simple but powerful. Often, the short sentences seem to express the choked emotion.

Thanks for sharing it.

Thank you

anymore comments?

What can one say?

It can be cathartic, writing out experiences like yours. I hope you found some of that by setting it all down.

And the shaking off of grief can be a real new start. I hope, too, that it's that way for you.

*bumps it up a bit*

The <./>underguide</.> is a slow moving creature, we only vote one week in each month, and following that, there’s the QA overview, then the h2g2 staff need to approve them – it all takes time. But we do want to feature this entry and give it its week on the Front Page. Our Miners who voted for it found it very moving.

An Underguide Polisher will be along to contact you about some light polishing and about creating the UG copy to link to from the Front Page.

I can't thank you for the entry, because I wish that it had never happened for you to write about - but I can offer congratulations on UnderGuide selection, and can thank you for sharing it. To your brother , Cal, and I hope writing this has helped in the process of coming to terms with what happened.

On the Front Page today, Cal.
