Curt's brother Brent died on Sunday from complications after a surgery. I'd only met him once, but he made quite an impression on me. He was one of those friendly, funny, boisterous people who you just take to or not immediately. I took to him. I'm glad I got to meet him.
I've been spending time with Curt, being there in case he needs me (and I'd go away if he wanted to be alone), reminding him that he is loved. Holding him until he falls asleep.
I've messaged Brad, Brent's now solo twin, a few times, letting him know that I care, offering kind words and cups of coffee.
Curt understands that I probably won't be able to go to the funeral because of my new job and school that evening. I will try to go, my boss is an old friend and kind, though it won't be the best time for me to meet the rest of his family.
Gentle reader or readers, if you are out there what else can I do to offer succor to the one I love?
