Okay sooo, i phoned my brother the other day to see how things were and he was quite disappointed with his 'about brands' section in my first blog, so heres a post just for him!!!!
When my mom and my step dad met, Brands and i hated eachother. He used to tease me so much and i couldnt stand that. On my 7th birthday i had all my friends over with a jumping castle and he told everyone that i scratched my bum :) hey! when you 7 thats a big thing! So anyway we didnt get along at all.
We moved to Cape town shortly after that, just my step dad, mom and myself. I hadnt seen Brands in a while, when him and Dazz came to visit us for the school holidays. I had (just before they came) stitches in my foot and couldnt walk. When they arrived Brands was all awesome and grown up, he carried me EVERYWHERE on his back and helped me alot that holiday, that was when our "bond" was formed.
We ended up moving back to Scottburgh where brands moved in with us and this was just too amazing for me, having my big brother there, who was now a cop! I mean what teenage girl doesnt want that, no one gave me shit. Every heartbreak or bad day, he was there to cheer me up, take me driving, pay for my gym and hunt down any guy that hurt his "little sister". He went from my big brother to my best biggest brother and bestfriend!
As i got older the more closer we got. Thats when the sneaking out started. Brands was the getaway car with me and a friend bolting for the car door as we went drinking and partying. Bad influence?? ;)
Then we moved to Australia and it killed me to think that i would be away from my big brother, my best friend was being taken away from me, who i went from seeing every single day to nothing at all. My other half was ripped away and its sucked!!!! Didnt stop us from chatting everyday though.
Then one day when everything was fine in Aus we got a phone call. My sister begged on the phone to phone back urgently. We called back and received the WORST news. My brother had been shot, and no one knew if he was going to make it. Hearing that news made me sick to my stomach, tears just flowed as i fell to the ground thinking that he was gone, now he was really gone, not just in distance but in life. I cant even explain the things that go though your head or the feelings that you feel when someone that important to you is almost dead. We flew back from Aus the day after that to see my brother who hadnt said a word yet and was in ICU. I am proud to say that my brother is the strongest person i know. He made it through it all and has recovered so well.
SO Brands, i hope you're reading this. I just want you to know that you are so IMPORTANT to me. I support you 100% in life and i will never give up or think otherwise of you. You are amazing and awesome and cool all in one. I am so PROUD and HAPPY to be able to call you my brother! Love you big bro!!!!
