I..I...I...immm...Imm I’m sorry to tell you this like this ,but your brother did not pull through ,he lost a lot of blood and it was too late for anything to happen and so we tried everything we could ,sorry…BUT Meisie couldn’t hold herself she just stood there amazed and traumatized about the news she just received.
