This was a heartfelt one. I loved how you confidently told your story and I could relate to that since I also lost my brother while growing up and this time it was in the swimming pool right in front of me. He was dying and I thought he was swimming. I grew up blaming myself for his death because I could have shouted for help which I didn't. I became scared of the water but I had to find a way to over come it.

Like your rightly said, fear can take the better part of us if we allow it to because we have the power not to allow it. Let's keep being strong and say no to that spirit of fear.
