"Your just a little kid, you don't know whats going on. People rushing to find some reasoning, people crying, neighbors coming to comfort you. You know why they're there but you don't fully understand. Your little brother just drowned, you have police asking you questions, you don't know where to go.
"Then suddenly you hear they got him to cough up some water! Your filled with hope! Your telling your friends, it's going to be okay, he's going to be fine! He coughed up water! Only to realize the next day you got your hopes up to soon..
"After an hour or so the police and the fire fighters leave. The ambulance left over an hour ago. Your so confused, you don't know what to think, your not sure whats going on anymore. You don't want to stay at your home that night because the house feels empty without him there so you stay at a friends.
"You come back home the next day to still find that empty feeling there, your hoping it was just a dream but you soon realize its not. Your whole world is upside down, your in shock and don't know whether to cry or what. You feel hopeless without him..your brother."
Ever lost somebody you cared deeply about? Someone that always seems to make you cry when you remember the day you heard about it or remember the day it happened? Someone you wish was with you today?
Well I have, that little kid was me when I was 8 years old and he was only 2 years old. A lot to go through when your that young but I'm glad I got to spend those 2 years of his life with him then no years at all. He was someone that changed my life and I'd do anything to have a second chance with. He helped me grow into a stronger person after that and I'm thankful for that. He's a big reason why I am who I am today. He's my hero.
You grow and you learn from everything that goes on in your life. Take it, embrace it and use it to your advantage.
