She always wished to see her brothers stay together till the end of her time. Sadly, that was what it was. Almost as soon as she passed away, all of them started to go their own ways. The home she built with love and care came crashing down in days.

It is hard to let things go that you really don’t want to. She wanted it that way, her brothers probably did not.
I like your short stories – they have endless interpretations.
