This is a well written Senryu. It describes the author's feelings about the death of his brother. The words say it all.
The syllable count for the Senryu is correct.

Emotionally this poem was filled with sadness, wonder, and acceptance (the final laugh). Technically all the syllable counts were correct. I loved this one.

What a way to be remembered one I am sure must make you smile despite the loss. My mom although from a different disease died on her own birthday. Her birth-death day we quip
