My twin brother‚ Ben‚ took his own life about two months ago (July 22‚ 2017). Being a twin was (and is) a huge blessing‚ but losing him is the toughest pain imaginable. I created this channel as a way to cope with his passing and to memorialize him. Ben and I fought often (as seen in the video)‚ but we always got along when music was involved. The times where we listened to tunes together are when the twin energy was strongest. Music brought us closer together. Radiohead’s Bodysnatchers was a

Reading Journal 2 My Brother Sam Is Dead The ending was not at all what I had expected even though‚ looking back now‚ it was heavily hinted towards in chapter 13 where Sam continuously talks about the cow thieves and tells Tim to get rid of them before they are stolen.
