My Brother’s Last Gift Changed My Life Forever 🥺💔

"My Brother’s Last Gift" My older brother was my best friend. He was the one who taught me how to ride a bike, how to stand up for myself, and how to dream big. But when he turned 18, everything changed. He started hanging out with the wrong crowd, skipping school, and getting into trouble. One night, he came home bruised and scared. He told me he owed some dangerous people money, and he didn’t know what to do. I was only 14, so I didn’t understand what was really happening. I just told him we could figure it out together. He smiled, ruffled my hair, and told me not to worry. The next day, he was gone. The police found his body in an alleyway three blocks from our house. They said it was a robbery gone wrong. My parents were devastated, but I just felt empty. A week after his funeral, I found an envelope under my pillow. Inside was a crumpled $20 bill and a note in my brother’s handwriting: “For college. Don’t be like me.” I still have that note. I keep it in my wallet as a reminder that sometimes, love is the only thing stronger than regret. #SadStory #LostMyBrother #RedditStories #Storytime #NarratedStories
