RIP Elizabeth & Václav

RIP Queen Elizabeth II, RIP my brother Václav. National mourning in the UK is for me aligned with a very personal mourning. My brother had much bigger impact on me than the Queen. I’ll miss her, but I will miss him more! May nobody have such grief of losing a brother 5 years after losing a sister. When I was growing up I sometimes wished to be the only child. But it’s so much better life with siblings! May this be for you a day of appreciation of your siblings. Let them know that you love them, you need them and they mean a lot to you. Tomorrow it may be too late! With sympathy to the royal family and to my family. This is a very sad year.
