Very powerful. Great insightful writing.
The writing style looks quite familiar too.

The spoiler for me was the lack of formatting. With proper line-breaks and logical flow through individual paragraphs, this story could be far more appealing.

Very creative and beautifully innovative.
The writer certainly has that feeling heart, a thinking mind, and the ability to put the thoughts across.

There are passages where the sentences do appear clustered and can distract the reader, but I suspect that is more of formatting error than any lapse on part of the writer.

Beautifully crafted

Some growing pains never end. You've captured the emotional side of living in a simple yet appealing narrative.

Despite your personal pain, through this story, you found a great way to offer excellent advise. Yes, life is precious and it is a one-way street.

Interesting twist at the end. Put things in deeper perspective.

Thanks, (Somebody)important, you presented it eloquently.
To add to the beautiful style of writing, maybe you would accept some suggestion.
A few line breaks might have been given the reader the right pause.
The following line, (He traveled here every year on this same day, whether it was snowing or sweltering.) may need a rethink. On a given date of the same month, the weather would probably be the variation of the same, not the opposites like snowing or sweltering.
But, once again, thank you so much for such a beautiful piece of captured emotions.

Simple language but a very powerful narrative. May your brother be blessed, I can relate to your feelings.
