Today, I got a sad news that the dearest brother of my colleague had a motorcycle accident. I was really, really shocked because it was just last time that he is very alive and talking with my colleague and now, he will be no longer with us. He and my colleague has been very close with each other. They have good relationship and now, I feel so sorry for what happened. I just realized that life is very short. I suddenly remember my 2 sisters who are both close to me. I love them so much and I hope I can be with them until we grow old.

I don't have a good relationship with my younger brother. We argue a lot, we fight and a lot more. You can't blame me after all. He's a stubborn and brat kid! Sometimes i hate my parents for letting my brother act that way. He wouldn't learn.

Is he the youngest child? Most of the time, just because parents know that the particular child will be their last, they put so much love with that child.

I am pretty close with them. not as much as I wish I were though. I often check up with them on Facebook but see them mainly for holidays or summer cookouts.

That is one beauty of technology. It makes us closer to those people far from us.

I'm really sorry to hear about that loss. I felt the same way when I heard that my nephew had been in a motorcycle accident last spring. I am somewhat close to one of my brothers and one of my sisters and not so close to the others. I hope that things like that don't happen to anyone else I know, but we never know what is going to happen in life.

Sorry for your collegue's brother. I have a brother who is 4-year younger than me. We often quarrelled with each other or sometimes even fighted when we were young. Then we grew up and both left home for shcool. Now we are in different cites and only meet 1 to 2 times each year. We don't have too much to say when we are together, a bit more to talk on internet. I'm kinda missing him right now.

I understand. I also feel that sometimes. I also had fighting moments with my sisters and brother. However, I do not keep the bitterness inside me for a very long time since our parents told us that we must not take care of that kind of feelings in our heart. It is true that even how much we get angry with someone, time will come that we will realize their importance to us. When my older brother and sister get married, they lived in places far from us. I miss them especially those old times when we were younger.

it is really a sad news to read.it is always hard to live alone,he we lost our dearest ones. Everyone who are driving should be careful and drive safely. They should realise that someone special is waiting for them in house. I have two brothers and i love them very much. I always pray To god to keep them safe in all situation and protect them from all evils.

it is so good that you have a good relationship with your brothers. I do same with my sisters, however, I have a brother who is not close with us. We love him but it seems that he already forgot that he has sisters. He lives far away from us and did not try to connect with us.

It's really a sad thing. I feel sad for your colleague. These are the things that we have no control over. Life is indeed short. The best thing we could do is to make out the most of our time while we are still with our loved ones and create wonderful memories with them. It is important that we give them priority over the less important things, such as work. I am also very close to my sister, who is also my twin and best friend. I'm afraid to think of the what-ifs. The best thing for me to do is to just be a good sister to her as long as I can. I hope we can all grow old with our sisters.

My heartfelt condolence for the two brothers. May God rest his soul. In regards with my relationship with my siblings, it is at good level. yes, there are times we disagree on many matters but still the kinship is not lost. We have a regular family lunch at my mother's house and all siblings are always hundred percent present and enjoy the whole afternoon with each other. We have each other when ever there is a crisis and settle this as one family. How i wish everything will be the same when my old mother time will come. I have seen many closed families break when both parents are gone. I just hope this will not happen in my family!
