my brother my family

Finally the tears fall when I hear that you are on your way to the hospital in Trengganu. My heart aches but I know that the facility is better equipped to provide the care you need. Memories flood my mind and heart, I feel sad for your children who are hurting, they have been missing your presence at home since your hospital stay. I pray with all my heart for your speedy recovery. I know you will get better, you will heal, it just takes a little time and we will keep praying for your recovery.

My mind is in such chaos, my heart aches so badly, I love you so much dear little brother. You can be a real pain sometimes but you have a heart of gold, always assisting others, always chatting up the lowly people, people whom we do not even give much consideration, the garbage collector, the street sweeper, you are the one who will greet them and exchange pleasantries, even get to know their family background, you are weird that way, and we just shake our head and lament the fact that you are talking to the undesirables.

I smile now, as I think of all your quirks ..... you have a very childlike heart and simple ways. We should envy your childlike attributes, than maybe the world would be a little simpler, we would live a simpler lifestyle .... if only ......

I love you Irven George Gomes
