It’s been a long time since my last “Blessings” post and so it is time to remind myself what I am thankful for.
Firstly, “D” fell sick last week, and thankfully, he recovered and doing well now. He missed me so much that he caught flu – R effect.
Two days after he recovered he realized that there was a mid-term that Friday. Therefore, he had to rush and study. He got a day off from work but was not really happy with how much studying he got done. He took the test on Friday and called me all excited to say that the test went great. He missed “A” by one point, but I am still happy as this semester had been hard on him until now.
We (D and I) both have been doing well otherwise; of course, we are missing each other but not letting that drag us down.
I am really happy that I did this because I am enjoying every second I can get with my brother(B). I left home for college when B was a teenager and since then we did not get much time together. Furthermore, I feel like bonding with sibling as an adult is different compared to the childhood experience. B and I used to fight when we got bored as it was fun to annoy our mother. My mother used to call us two peas in a pod
B and I had a heart to heart talk after I came here cleared stuff up. Until now, when B stated something opposite to what I believe, I thought he was saying I am wrong and his way is the only way. This hurt my ego, and I felt that I have no freedom to be myself. He told me that was never his intention. He only gave me his opinion and at no time wanted to force it on me. He also said that it was okay to have different opinions even though we are siblings. That was exactly what I have been thinking for a long time and to know that he has similar thoughts and is not trying to force stuff on me was a big relief.
B and I both have been great and are giving each other full freedom. He is very considerate and will not allow me to do anything around the house. He cooks, cleans and also makes money.
Therefore, I am thankful for God’s help with D’s recovery/grade, D’s hard work, and my awesome little brother.
