@veronicalee, your post resonated deeply with me! The way you captured the contrast between the morning's lightness and the afternoon's heavy heat through your tired legs is beautiful. More than that, the heartfelt concern and love for your brother shines through so clearly. The image adds such a touching personal element to your words.
It's wonderful to hear you had a chance to visit him, and I can feel the peace of mind it brought you. The detail about him insisting on buying you lunch is so telling of the strong bond you share. Thank you for sharing this intimate glimpse into your life. It’s moments like these that make Steemit so special.
I'm curious, what kind of food did you share with your brother? I bet the meal was made even better by the company! I wish you and your brother all the best.
