I find this story so fascinating! I can't even imagine how it must feel to be one of those brothers, or one of their parents. It's like something out of a novel, only even more captivating because it's real, with deeper backstories, and the emotions felt by everyone involved are genuine and natural. It's all so incredible.
Very well put! How weird it must feel to know that your life would be completely different if it weren't for a simple mistake like that. Imagine the existential crisis! Thinking how you wouldn't be you, if that small mistake hadn't happened. You would live completely different life. Basically the person you are now wouldn't even exist. Then again, isn't it like that for all of us? The only difference with those brothers' story is that they can concretely see what kind of life they could be living. It's like meeting the other you who lives in a parallel universe!
