Day 2886: Happy Birthday Baby Brother

“ Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.”– Vietnamese Proverb

It’s 11 : 51 AM on day 2886 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time outside and do some work

On this day 18 years ago my brother was born and our family was complete I’m so honoured to such a kind and gentle soul for a brother (i’ll never forget watching him comb our grandmother’s hair and giving her biscuits – a testament to his innate kindness and gentle spirit). Happy Birthday Kevin – Keep your gentle spirit as you enter into adulthood, believe in God and yourself and NEVER GIVE UP!

Day 2757: Love Is Letting Go

Leave a reply

Love is a gradual process of letting go– that’ve what I’ve learned.

It’s 4 : 28 PM on day 2757 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Matthew 20:18-19 , go shopping with my brother and sister for my brother’s Metric Dance suit – we ended up picking a great gray suit my baby brother looked superhandsome (i admit i’m biased he is my only brother) we also got him a blue tie, brown shoes and a brown belt – there was a system glitch so we paid half price for the suit nobody was complaining- and go drop my sister off at the airport (she came for Easter because she’s going overseas to her 6th year elective in June) – one day i’ll be the one going places not just the one waving at the departure gate i’m not jealous just saying (leading up to my recent surgery i remember thinking I haven’t been to Paris, London or Rome yet that won’t be one of my regrets when I eventually die)

This afternoon as my sister and I helped our brother shop for his Metric Dance (last high school dance ) suit and teased him mercilessly about how handsome he looked I realized that love is a gradual process of letting go…I still remember the little boy who wouldn’t let go of dad’s leg when it was time for school but that little boy has morphed into a wonderful young man which is taking me a while to get used to but I’ll be fine.

5 Life Lessons for My Brother On His 14^th Birthday

Always say please and thank you because nobody on this planet is here to serve you if they do it’s because they want to not because they have to.
Always be grateful for everything you have because there are people out there who have less than you who still manage to smile.
Listen to your elders because although they don’t know everything they do know more than you because they’ve been alive longer than you.
Never give up because the difference between winners and losers is that losers quit when winners carry on.
Do everything you can and more to help people because when all is said and done people won’t remember how much money you had or how many cars you had but they will remember all the things you did to help others.
