Contemplating my very existence on this plane,
Thinking about a brother gained and lost,
Worrying about what to say,
That’s how I feel right now.
I’m overwhelmed with the feelings.
Don’t know what to do.
I need a helping hand.
Perhaps that could be you?

My dad and mom aren't together and I haven't seen my dad's kids since I was four. Recently my sister contacted me and she told me my older brother died about 2 years ago. I didn't really know what to do and felt lost. I barely remember him but I remember I called him kick not Kent. I can't even remember what he looks like.
