Of lost brothers and repressed memories

Watched Gran Torino today.

I hate to admit it, but the ending left me teary eyed. The violent murder of Clint Eastwood's character right at the end brought back two particularly unpleasant memories.

Waking up to hear that a close friend has suddenly died has to be one of the worst feelings in the world. It's a dreadful mix of disbelief, grief, regret, loneliness, fear and anger.

R. and J., we love you and we miss you.
