Julius, 14, (R) and his brother Aidan, 12, (L), whose father died of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in December 2020, are picked up from Judson Middle School by their mother, Margaret Garza (not pictured) in Converse, Texas, U.S. February 7, 2022. Julius remembers more than his brother about what life was like before that day late in 2015 when Margaret and David adopted the boys. "Dad dying was so far the saddest thing that has ever happened in my life," he says. "I can never forgive that." REUTERS/Callaghan O'Hare SEARCH "O'HARE HEALTH CORONAVIRUS" FOR THIS STORY.
