One of my favourite moments with my big brother- he had discovered a reef and swam back to tell me so I could join him out there. Here, he was telling me avidly about some fish he’d seen. It was the closest moment we’d ever had together.

I have not seen my brother in years now. I miss him ardently. Beautiful Beege
