At the end of July 2022, my brothers invited me on a small family fishing trip. I felt it was a different kind of trip, so I accepted their invitation. Being in the same boat with my brothers (literally), I saw them as caring and passionate, even romantic people. I felt that the bond between us was much stronger than I had ever felt before. I was right: this trip was different. Vladimir, my older brother, got cancer. Stage II lymphoma. Since our trip, he has faced a long and arduous course of treatment, including chemotherapy. And we, as a family, were there to support him.
