um, I have only cried this hard two other times in my life; not joking.
This is really great, and beautifully written. But my baby brother is leaving me for the military, and my 'good' older brother's "team" were killed in a roadside bomb in Pakistan and the only reason he wasn't was because he was injured before it happened and had to be medically discharged.
So, I read this chapter and sobbed for like 8 minutes straight, and a little one is escaping every few moments, but it was beautiful.

I'm so sorry this was so close to you. I honestly can't even imagine the relief/ fear you felt knowing that it could have been your brother.
Thank you for reading even though it's so hard for you. It means a lot to me.
