Sibling Love
Jeffrey is sitting at his seat now, in front of his laptop, designing a logo. Nope, the logo is not part of his assignment, it's his sister's project that he is helping with.
Over this week, I have seen Jeffrey on a couple of occassions help his sister (who is located in Msia) design certain logos. It's also this month that I have seen Jeffrey display amazing brotherly love for his sister. Coming to think of it, I have been blind not to see it.
I can see the effort he is putting in designing the logo for his sister. Frequently editting it, and letting out certain some sounds of slight frustration at times. Yet, he hums along with the music I am playing out from my laptop...seems to be enjoying doing it...I can really see the immense effort he is putting in the design. I perhaps should also make a note that Jeffrey is an engineering student, so design is not his cup of tea per se. I can see that spirit of excellence he is striving for...it's just so evident.
I ask myself, have i ever done anything for my brother? I have done a lot of mundane stuff for him...like helping him out with housework, buying him meals....but, have i gone to a huge extent to help him out in any circumstance before? I am afraid to say that i cant recall of any situation....
This doesnt mean that i am on bad terms with my brother...we were before..when we were young and I think this is reasonable...we were young and irrational then.
I have always thought that love does not have to be expressed in such an explicit manner. I still hold onto this belief. But perhaps, it is time to expand this definition of love...
Pondering, wondering, thinking....
