Their names are Nigel and Donovan. They are 13 and 7 respectively. Now they are gone and their parents' hearts will never be whole again.
The part that made me cry on and off today is that Nigel fetched Donovan from a school activity because Nigel wanted his mother to rest before her shift work started at McDonald's. Nigel loved his mother, and he loved his brother.
There is a poignant saying in Cantonese - the white-haired person should not have to send off the black-haired person = parents should not have to mourn their children. It goes against the natural order of life.....
