Moment

just before he passed away he opened his eyes and smiled. not at the people in the room- someone had come to fetch him. this is my comfort.

We were having a chat yesterday and my brother's passing came up. Hadn't thought about this for a long while, so put it into writing. Thanks for dropping by, Arthur. Regards, Viv
