This is a poem I wrote about by brother Nathan. He's gone now. Nathan wasn't even born yet when he died. That was a sad experience for my family and me, but we've learned to get over it. If Nathan hadn't died, he'd be about two weeks old right now. I will never forget my brother whom I gained only to lose again.
