Okay, he has a pulse... I need to get him to a hospital.
I forgot where I came from! Brr... I have to keep going.
There's a hospital in the distance! Just hang on, Leo!
*huff huff* Leo, why are you so *huff* heavy?!
Finally made it! I just hope they can do something about Leo...
Hello, yes, my brother and I were staying in a log cabin, when I think a missile blew up near the cabin and blew splinters of wood into his leg and he needs help!
Hello, welcome to L'viv City Hospital, how may I help you?
Thank you so much!
Oh, my, that is serious! I will ask around and see if there are any open rooms!
So they took Leo...
and left me sitting in the reception room, waiting and hoping for Leo to be ok.
I waited...
and waited...
God, please let him be okay... I don't know what I would do without my big brother...
until I couldn't take it anymore and decided to ask the nurse at the desk if he was ok.
Um, excuse me, nurse? Do you know how my brother is doing?
Yes, that would be perfect, thank you!
I don't, but I could ask if you can go in, if you're okay with that?
So I waited some more until I got the bad news.
No? Why not?
So, doc, can I go and see him?
I understand. Thanks for all that you did, doc.
His leg has been infected, and I wouldn't want to put more stress on him. I've done all I can, we just need to wait it out.
I'm sorry, kid, but no.
And so I waited...
and waited...
I wonder how my parents are doing... and how I'm going to break the news to them if he dies... stop! Don't think like that! Oh, I just hope he'll be okay...
So I waited some more until I got the bad news.
Hey doc, how's he doing? Can I go see him now?
Thanks so much, doc!
Yeah, you can go see him, kid. Just don't be alarmed when you see him without his leg. We had to amputate, because the infection was so bad.
Please get out of here, I don't want you to see me like this.
When I walked in, I was shocked at what I saw.
Not great, Davyd. I think I'm going to die. Just tell Mom and Dad I love them, and you need to know that as well.
No, Leo, Leo, don't talk like that! You're going to be fine.
Hey, Leo! I've been worried sick about you, how are you feeling?
I stayed in the waiting room, mourning Leo.
The doctor came to me one final time.
Kid, I don't know how to tell you this, but your brother's dead.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
A few months later, I had saved up enough money to buy a headstone for Leo.
Here lies Leonid, who was my brother and friend. Rest in Peace.
I'm still sad about it sometimes, that year. It was the saddest Hanukkah of my life, as I lost my brother and parents.
And that's part of my story, kids. Any questions?
No, Grandpa...
Ahh, that's a story for another day!
Except, how did you build yourself back up from that loss?
Here lies Leonid, who was my brother and friend. Rest in Peace.
Rest in peace, Leo...
Here lies Leonid, who was my brother and friend. Rest in Peace.
and know that you are missed.
