They say the most difficult times in our lives, when we look back on them, strikes us as beautiful

Loving my brother was hard

It was hard when he threatened suicide

It was hard when he went to the hospital

It was hard when he threatened to kill me

But it was love

Wondrous, powerful, mesmerizing, beautiful love

It was love when I worried about him

It was love when I tried to save him and couldn’t

It was love when we fought

It was love when I lost the battle and the war

It was love when I didn’t give up

Until the last moment I believed

Against the odds
