I'm very sorry for your loss. It hurts when someone so close that you love so much leaves your side. I'm glad you had a chance to be there for him and showed him how much you cared. My older brother passed away 10 years ago. He was always looking out for us and me being the youngest of our familiy was his "special little brother". Last time I saw him alive, he was sick with a cold, unfortunately my brother had some health issues that made a simple cold a very serious situation so it all went downwards from there until he died. One of the things I remember and the cherish the most of my last visit, was that as soon as he saw me he said "Cesar, I'm glad you came", and he looked so calm and happy...well brother I'm also glad to share some special moments with you and I know you're on very happy place above looking down on us. Every time I go to Chile, I visit the site where he rests and I have a little conversation with him, just to thank him for being there for us.
Thanks for sharing this special moment with us.

Update

First, I want to thank everyone's kind words. It truly means a lot to me. My family and I are handling things a lot better now. I guess it's like everything else in life, some days are definitely better than others. I recently started doing some of my old hobbies I had before he passed, and I've started a few new ones.

I never knew how proud of me he was. He used to brag about me to all of his friends (I had no clue). I heard this from all of his friends. He used to tell them how strong I was (physically)...and after hearing this, I started lifting weights again....can't let my bro down you know ;)

I think about my bro every day, and I have dreams about him all the time. I really wish my dreams were good dreams about him. He's always really sick or he follows me around without saying anything. I think watching my brother die (literally) kind of messed up my minds perception of him. I don't think those images will ever leave me.

If I had to do it all over again, I might say a few other things I didn't say, but I would still be there by his side...He never gave up on me and there's not a chance in hell I would give up on him. I miss my brother, my best friend, and I can't wait to be with him again one of these days.
