I kind of want to know how his baby-brother-in-law died (nevermind "in-law" if they're not married). He died as a young kid apparently, since they "smile like pictures of [him] as a boy." I kind of figure it was an accidental death, since leukemia or any other long-term disease would leave its mark with the suffering---suffering deserves mention in a song as sad as this. But I guess the point of the song is the author's empathy for his brother-in-law's short-lived life. I'm just pandering for the drama.
