Narration

 

            Two children separated by death but united in memories. Even though my brother Jerry and I were really close, we have had a lot of good and bad times. It was hard when he got sick, not only for me but my family too. .
             Our lives have changed so much through the years. What was so sad is that he went so fast and suffered so much. I always thought my brother would be here with me, but I took his life for granted.
             While my brother and I were growing up we were really close and played many sports together. I could go to Jerry over anything and always get a positive answer. He would help with my problems and give the greatest advice. If I asked my mom to do something and she said no, he would always talk her into letting me do it. If I would go out he would always make sure that I had money. I always looked up to him and still do today. When we were growing up we played many sports together including soccer, tee ball, basketball, and we also took karate. We were always on the same team. He would help me with something I done wrong and I would do the same for him. People were so surprised at how close we really were.
             Things have changed from the time we were growing up until now. My life changed so much when Jerry became ill. At the age of ten my brother got the disease known as leukemia. It's a disease were your white blood cells are extremely low and have to have treatments to make them go up. I never thought my own brother would ever get a deadly disease. It shocked me so bad, because it happened to my brother. Times started getting rough because of the many nights at the hospital. It was hard for me to go to school because I wanted to be at the hospital with him. I had to stay with my aunts and attend school while my mom was there with Jerry. She was so strong and I"m sure it was hard for her to leave one child for another, but he needed her more. His disease didn't only affect me but also my family and friends.
