(poems go here) Dear God:
I want to know why you took my brother and before you answer, you don’t just owe me an explanation, but you owe one to my father and mother. I prayed and I prayed, but you wouldn’t bring him back. I just cannot believe you would do me like that. I want him here that’s my only wish. I’m just so sorry that you are so selfish. It wasn’t right and it wasn’t fair. How could you do such a thing, how could you even dare? I would not give you something and then take it away. What was that God? I didn’t hear what you had to say.
Remember, I gave the world my only son. I did what I had to do because it had to be done. I looked down on earth and I said ah yes, I see there’s a soul that needs to be free. I took your little brother by his hand and told him to come with me for he was a good man. And I put my other hand over his eyes and laid him to rest because there was no doubt in my mind that he was one of the best. Now he is an angel looking down on you. So don’t cry you know he wouldn’t want you to. So put your mind at ease and tell your parents ,
that I took Devon because the best place for him is right here in heaven.

describes how I felt when my younger brother died from diabetes at the age of 20. My entire family was devastated . He didnt even know he was diabetic until the day he died. People who do not have health insurance should not be turned away from any hospital or clinic. A simple urine test would have saved my brother's life!
