Beautifully written, Erin. I can feel the pain of the wound left by your brother's suicide, and the true appreciation you had for him and his work. It has left me wanting to know more about you both.

Beautifully written <3 This hits particularly hard today as I'm dealing with a self-destructive family member.

I love you my friend. I wish I could take away your pain. I will at least carry some of it with me today as I wipe this tear from my eye. I hope you can feel the warmth of my hug from 600 miles away.💔
