    This would be depressing as shit if it were true, not really a hallmark movie. I’d be traumatized if I found out a dead brother had done something like that for me and I just blew it off.

      I dunno, it’s sad but powerful. Maybe not actual hallmark material, you’re right, but the same basic idea. As it’s written, it’s cheesy, overdone, like hallmark movies, which is why that popped in my head as the comparison. It’s so predictable and obvious that as written, the only kind of audience that would buy in without it breaking immersion is the kind of audience that watches hallmark movies.
