“My brother was my brother. Away from everything, this is the man I grew up with. We did a lot of things. He was everything, a partner. We have done a lot of things to uplift our family. But when you go back, all sorts of things keep coming back – like when we were growing up, things we went through and things he has gone through as a grown man.
