It has been a long time that I've wanted to write about my sibling. I have a brother and feel lucky to have him. To continue with the brothers' week celebration, I have the opportunity to share my love with him ๐
Yes, this is my dear brother that I had fightings with all my childhood for toys, home cleaning tasks, the person that I have had some cool stories with so far. At first, please notice that he is 2 years older than I am, however, he always looks younger in the eyes' people, that makes me jealous sometimes!
Talking about characters, he is not a sweet person who knows how to show his love by words, but by actions. I will never forget a night when I was a second-year student, I had a stomach problem and cried like I was gonna die while calling him at midnight. At that time, he was on army duty and not allowed to go out. Despite that, he did reach his sister's place after some hours by night bus and car. He arrived with a full bag of food that I always dreamed to have at that time, even though he had an empty stomach the night before (we were quite poor that that time). I know it was my bad fault but I have felt so proud of having a brother since that time.
We didn't have a chance to travel together and this was the first trip that we made this year while he came to visit me during New Year Vacation. I took him to Lap An Lagoon. To reach there, the best way is to take a motorbike and as he is my older brother, he volunteered to be my driver. That small point can be considered as an advantage of having a brother right? Driving by motorbike there was so much adventurous and we could see all the most beautiful sceneries on Hai Van Pass (A small note about this pass: according to Travel + Leisure, this pass is considered one of the world's best coast roads in the world). It was the first time that he had been there and I could feel how amazed my brother got about the view and food that we ate there. When we came back, I asked him what he thought about seafood there and he said "I just took the whole ocean in my mouth" ๐ He doesn't talk much, however, every time he says something it is always so cool!
As working online, he is quite flexible with location and time. After talking to me once to get some overview about this beach city, his girlfriend and he decided to buy one-way flight tickets to the center and stay with me. Finally, I am no longer alone and homesick. We cook and hang out a lot on weekends. Seeing him enjoy his couple's life makes me really happy for him. I know it's hard for him to find a soulmate and when he is in love with any ladies, it means he puts a lot of effort and commitment into the relationship and I obviously don't want him to be hurt like before. I hope they will get married soon so I can become an auntie one day. I bet my parents have the same wish as me. They have awaited a big announcement with their relatives and neighbors for a long time already. (small notice: family orientation is very important in Vietnam)
He used to make mistakes and go bankrupt when he was younger. Until now, he's still obsessed with that. However, he has changed a lot and has become much more mature now. I really hope he can forget that bad period and be happy. Via this post, I would like to send him my little message "I don't care who you are in people's eyes, but in my heart, you are my mate, my close friend, and my hero who is willing to stand and give me a good shade โโ๏ธ๐
Happy Brother's Week๐ฅ
