In the dim light of the Irish pub, Kyle and his younger brother Eoin were huddled together, nursing their pints. Kyle's eyes were hollow, his grief palpable as he spoke about the pain of losing a woman.

Kyle listed the difficulties of wooing a woman, then added, "And if all that ain't hard enough, try losing one." His voice broke as he ordered more shots, his mind filled with memories of his late wife, Eva.

As they drank, Eoin asked Kyle about his seizures. Kyle shrugged, having no answers. Distracting his brother, he returned to their earlier topic, his voice low and pained as he spoke of his loss.

"Try walking through the door of an empty house," Kyle muttered, the despair in his voice nearly tangible. He spoke of the agony of living with guilt, of missing Eva every night, of the hell of losing the woman he couldn't live without.

Suddenly, Kyle's body convulsed, his head hitting the bar as another seizure took hold. Eoin quickly ordered water for his brother, his face pale with concern. When the seizure subsided, he urged Kyle to talk about women again.

"Try living knowing you're the reason she's dead," Kyle confessed, his voice barely a whisper. He couldn't escape the guilt, the memories of Eva's hurt eyes as she said goodbye, the knowledge that he'd killed her.

After paying the tab, Kyle asked Eoin to drive him somewhere. He gave directions and Eoin, despite his confusion, followed. Upon arrival, Kyle rushed to the door, knocking anxiously. Eoin watched, perplexed.

The door was answered by Phil, Eva's father. He invited the brothers in, his face a mask of uncertainty. Kyle asked to speak with Phil and his wife Marie, his voice trembling with fear and regret.

Inside, they were greeted by Marie, Lee who is Phil and Maries son and Eva brother and Kyle's Eva's son, Liam. The young boy ran to his father, wrapping his small arms around him in a tight hug. Kyle's heart ached as he greeted his son and his in-laws.

After sending Liam and Lee to the kitchen, Kyle revealed his diagnosis to Phil and Marie. "I have a brain tumor," he confessed, his voice trembling. He asked Phil, a renowned oncologist, to be his doctor.

Phil was taken aback but agreed, his professional instincts taking over. He promised to do everything in his power to help Kyle. Meanwhile, Marie's face turned ashen, her eyes brimming with tears.

After a moment of silence, Kyle asked if he could take Liam home. Phil and Marie exchanged a glance, then nodded. They understood that Kyle wanted to spend as much time as possible with his son.

With Liam in tow, Kyle thanked Phil and Marie before leaving. Back in the car, he glanced at Eoin, his eyes filled with gratitude. His little brother had been his rock, supporting him through the hardest time of his life.

As they drove home, Kyle's mind was filled with thoughts of Eva. He missed her more than words could express. He promised himself that he'd fight the tumor, not just for himself, but for Liam as well.

Once home, Kyle tucked Liam into bed, his heart heavy. He promised his son that he'd always be there for him, no matter what. Liam's innocent smile gave Kyle the strength he needed to face the battle ahead.

Over the next few days, Kyle underwent numerous tests and consultations. Phil was there every step of the way, providing guidance and support. Despite the grim prognosis, Kyle was determined to fight.

In the midst of the chaos, Eoin stood by his brother. He became a pillar of strength for Kyle, helping him with Liam and providing emotional support. The bond between the brothers deepened during this challenging time.

Despite his own pain, Kyle also found strength in Liam. His son's innocent laughter and boundless energy were a reminder of Eva, and it motivated Kyle to keep fighting. He wanted to be there for his son, just like Eva would have wanted.

As days turned into weeks, Kyle continued his battle against the tumor. There were good days and bad, but he faced each one with courage. He was fighting not just for his life, but for the family he had left behind.

In his heart, Kyle knew that his journey was far from over. Yet, he also knew that he had a family who loved him. And with their love and support, he was ready to face whatever the future held.
