My Brother

My Brother When older daughter was established abroad, Younger one left for higher studies. Worst critical hindrances blocked my road. My friend’s brother stood beside. He protected me acting as a strong shield behaving like my own brother on devotion. Both daughters were far away from my field. He turned my sibling snatching full affection. Owning theater-group he was an amateur actor. Local auditorium was booked for whole week show. He valued my comments as important factor. I had season ticket for all the shows to follow. On the last evening I reached the auditorium. It was completely closed without any trace of light. I was not informed of sudden change of forum. Gate -Keeper declared’ He passed away late night.’ It seemed to me I could collapse and almost to faint. Last evening, I watched his cheerful comedy. Five minutes- walk from my house was his apartment. None informed me about the terrible tragedy. I rushed to meet his ninety years old Mom He was the youngest and most lovable son. Last night he showed heart attack syndrome. Doctor failed, nothing could be done. Ten years old son and young wife were left behind. Angel appeared when I was extremely distressed. Now he stays alive in my mind only to remind ‘ Half colors of my life had been totally erased.’ 05/23/16 An Expression of Love contest by Frank Herrera
