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

For more mature readers and writers, this may have been an obvious conclusion but coming from a 15 year old writer, I must say this reflects a thinking mind and a feeling heart; quite a comforting and pleasant realisation. The setting of a 'memory chest' is such a wonderful idea that any writer would have loved to base the story on.
Please keep on writing as you have what it takes.
Stay blessed.

The beauty about your writing style is that you don't hesitate to put your thoughts across.
Your choice of words is remarkably mature, yet somehow compliments the youthful, but agonising, emotions so effortlessly.

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.

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

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.

What a wonderful way to capture the emotions and uncertainties of adolescence!
Please keep on writing, as you not only have the ability but also a unique way of expressing your thought.

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