Amazing.....to put things into perspective...my brother was 16 and I was 14.We were grouse hunting. He had several friends up from the cities hunting with us.
At the road by the car we unloaded,only when one of his friends unloaded the shotgun went off at close range.My brother took the load in the heart.
Looking back there was nothing that could have prevented the accident outside of this guy being a bit safer with his gun.
I think of my brother often and even after 34 years I still wish we had not gone that terrible day.
To be able to have the kind of relationship you have with your brother is something I sorely miss.If all it meant that you had to replace the chain....how lucky you are!
I'm very sorry for your loss thirty-four years ago, but very thankful that you took the time to share it with us. It gives the proper perspective about how petty differences don't mean anything compared to the love of family. If we can remember that, we'll be much better off.
