My older brother by 360 days ended his life on the 21st of March 2025. Same day as i got a new job and worst of all it was my sons 8th birthday. My niece says my family is cursed but i dont think so i think its just dumb bad luck. He was 41 in February and now hes gone and my sons birthday will be linked with his death and I will hate him more every year when my sons birthday comes about. Life aint fair and dont half suck at times. Also both my parents are dead and im the youngest of 6 kids.
