Dan,
How terribly sad this is. I pray Jesus holds you in his arms and gives you comfort. I do not understand the “why” or “if’s”. I only understand the pain I feel now. If you had reached out, I can assure you I would have listened and helped you like I have during other times you felt distraught. Be at peace knowing you have always been and will always be, “My little brother”. I will miss you!
