My brother’s widow
Lunches with her youngest child
Today, his birthday
My brother died in September of 2024 at the age of 75. 2 massive hurricanes landed in Tampa, Florida. He became ill and was hospitalized at Tampa General Hospital. They released him, with pneumonia, as the city streets were flooding. A few days later, he was admitted to a different hospital, where he died. His birthday is March 9.

I'm sorry for your loss. You've written a really pretty haiku though, emotional but beautiful!

I'm so sorry for your loss 🥺 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
It must still hurt like it happened yesterday. So sorry for your loss, Andi!
What a difference healthcare makes. Many hugs and may you all be blessed with the life you had with him. Never forgotten in your hearts.
Oh wow :( I’ve had pneumonia. It’s an awful feeling. It sounds like his medical care was rushed and neglected. I hope there’s some comfort to be had, in happier memories and in one another. condolences to you and to her and everyone who now misses him 🙏
Condolences, Andrea. And He's thinking of you on his b'day too. Say hi to him for me.
