I've lost a young daughter so I know a bit about this. One of the biggest regrets is not appreciating every moment. Appreciating 99.9% like I did isn't enough, though I'm glad I did that. I played with her and taught her things, sang with her, and drew pictures with her. Then suddenly she's gone and I know these were the happiest times of my life. The times where she wanted one more bedtime story but I was too tired or she wanted to play peek-a-boo but my back hurt also bear on my mind. So many things seem important that aren't. If I have more children I'll remember this, and I'll always have extra time for one I have in place of the one I lost. I try to apply this to parents and wife too, but being a bit depressed over the loss of my daughter it isn't easy. My guess is his brother was younger, perhaps much younger. Take care of the little ones. When they leave you having lived less it's nice to know you brightened what they had. Time spent loving is the only thing good on Earth. It really is the only thing that matters. It matters so much that everything else is truly evil.
