Yesterday my brother got into a minor car accident that left him with a nasty lip bruise all because he chose to ride with his classmate all the way from Mamplasan to Makati. Apparently his friend had a history of over speeding and a couple of hit and runs.
My initial reaction was concern over my brother who has been accident prone ever since he was a kid. He would normally fall from a double deck bed or drop a glass of water so it wasn't really much of a surprise anymore when he got into this accident. Yet, I have to admit that this was different because he could have been seriously hurt or we could have lost him.
Among the four us, we all know that Jared is the most special sibling from the time he was born. He was a premature baby and he was able to fit into a shoe box. Every one thought he was not going to make it. In fact, he even had his baptism right there in Manila Sanitarium. When he was growing up, we noticed a lot of his quirky ways and mannerism. Almost always he would normally forget stuff even when you just mentioned it to him a couple of seconds ago. He would get bumps and bruises from being too hyper. One time, he even fell of a tricycle which left him with blood clots in his head. Inspite of his ways, Jared was very loving and sociable. He was able to mingle with people from all walks of life. He was also mature in dealing with his own problems. Moreover, he is one of the most popular and smart guys in his batch.
In his lifetime, my brother has probably endured a lot of pain that he already developed a high tolerance for it. Sometimes we would tease him and call him "hari ng sablay" (as in Sugarfree's current hit.) Inspite of this, I am proud that he is my brother. He is my ally and my friend and I wouldn't want to lose him over some freaking careless driver. Sometimes I worry about him but I guess I would have to leave him be to learn his lessons well.
Bro, take care of yourself ayt?
