My joyful, bright, freckle-faced younger brother was voted "Joe High School" in his yearbook. Less affable, more opinionated, I was voted "Most Likely to be Heard." But decades later, no noise could stop the addiction Matt developed to prescription OxyContin. I pushed him to rehab; he said he hated me. After his fatal overdose in May 2020, I begged him for a sign that he didn't hate me. On his birthday, I found the message he'd written in his yearbook: "Jen … thank you for believing in me … I love you." When I cried out for my brother, I know he heard me. — Jennie Burke
