Two lives begin while one was taken..

I got a phone call at 12:30 in the morning, telling me that my brother, Elmer, who had been on dialysis for over a year now passed away. His body gave up.. We are having mixed emotions,,, We feel sorry that he only lived up to 37 years, and we feel sorry for his 4 kids that they lost their father early. At the same time, we also know he is at rest now with God, and all his physical sufferings had ended. 
Though it's tough, we have to face it. We can't even go home for his funeral and burial because we don't want to risk my pregnancy. It's hard! My heart wants to explode! But like what my sisters-in-law and brother-in-law were telling me, even if our brother's life was taken, there are 2 being added to the family..
We'll certainly miss you, Kong Elmer..
