That was my mom and dad's first child but one thing was wrong he was born two months early and his body wasn't fully developed so tge nurse took William to the nursery, and 12 hours after he was born William died. He would be 22 this year

In 1999, my older brother, William'skindergarten graduation the teacher asked who has a brother almost every body raised their hand except my brother then the teacher asked who has a sister almost everybody raised their hand except William then the teacher asked William "why didnt you raise your hand?" My brother replied "i have a brother...but he's in heaven" when my brother said that my parents started to cry and the teacher was in shock and after the graduation the teacher came up to my parents and said "i'm sorry i didn't know" my parents said "it was ok"
