Which best retells the central idea in this excerpt?

Read this excerpt from Eighty Years and More:
Reminiscences, 1815-1897.
O Stanton's brother was a graduate of Union College.
O Stanton's brother passed away from an illness.
O Stanton's life was shaped by two events in her
childhood.
O Stanton had four sisters and one brother.
When I was eleven years old, two events occurred
which changed considerably the current of my life. My
only brother, who had just graduated from Union
College, came home to die. A young man of great talent
and promise, he was the pride of my father's heart. We
early felt that this son filled a larger place in our father's
affections and future plans than the five daughters
together. Well do I remember how tenderly he watched
my brother in his last illness.
