My dad took Jaal to a hotel and Lev was born at home at around 3am.
Jaal woke up on the night and convinced Grandpa to bring him home to get juice. They arrived the moment Lev was born and Jaal (at three and a half) got to cut the umbilical cord.
Lev accompanied Jaal, as his sometimes annoying little brother, until Jaal graduated from high school and was ready to go to college.
So close for so long and then gone.
