Standing Strong
My brother's visa has not been granted YET. And his friends are already here in Melbourne. My brother is sad. He said "Can you imagine how one feels when you send your friends off at the airport but you can't join them?" I felt his pain.
When i met his gf in the city last week, she said "you know Jason, your brother deserves to come here the most among all of us (my bro's friends who are already here in Melbourne)." I felt sad.
That night, I talked to my brother over MSN. And i cried. I cried terribly. I cried because I felt that it was unfair to him. My brother has been doing well in his studies over these 2 years and yet, his visa has not been granted yet.
As I talked to my brother that night over MSN, both of us said things we thought we would never say to each other. I mentioned of how proud i was to have him as my elder brother. And that I actually miss him a lot. My brother said that he missed me too...he said that whenever he walks past my room, it is empty...
Though my brother and I are apart, i think we have grown much closer to each other during this past week, supporting each other. I never thought that I would cry over my brother, but i did. It just goes to show how much he is on my mind, and how much i actually do care for him. I am also glad that my parents are very supportive of my brother, giving him all the encouragement that he needs.
He will be in my prayers...
