Today marks the 4th year anniversary of my brother's murder. I look to sunflowers for strength. (feddit.org)

God that sparked a sadness, he never meant to hurt me. He was just a child of abuse and had mental issues, I do too. When I was growing up he saved enough money to buy me a bike, back in Mexico. He loved so pure when he could.

He'll also never get to see his nieces and nephews. Never a chance.

Thank you ever so kindly for sharing.

A large amount of people have gone through terrible things, and many, if not most, end up feeling forced to do terrible things. Yet in the end they were people, and his acts of goodness were towards you. Cherish that even in a world set to do everything it could to make him into something else, he chose to be your loving brother. He was a good person in a bad place.

It was my pleasure to share. I wish you the best, and if you need someone, please reach out <3
