This picture, is a collage that I collaborated of my only brother Daesen. The reason I chose to do this picture is because, he's the only sibling that I don't see regularly. I miss him like crazy, some might say that I'm a little maudlin about this topic but I honestly think I'm not. Ill start by telling you how it began, then how it is now.
Daesen-Rae was born on December 18, 2012 at Kona community hospital, I don't exactly remember the weight & time. But all I did know was that I was having a baby brother. When Daesen was born, I was ecstatic & full of joy. But little did I know that, that day would turn into a nightmare. That night we noticed that he was breathing a little funny (faster than normal) so we quickly called a nurse over to check on him, we were told that he had water in his lungs which was a detriment to his life. That night at about midnight he was quickly sent to kapi'olani hospital in Oahu, to be looked over & helped. Later that morning at about 6am we caught the first flight to Oahu. On the way to Oahu, we had to use good discretion to to get to the hospital in the best optimum amount of time. We got to the hospital & we were glad to see that my brother had gotten a little better. We were there for about 10days, in & out of hotels & Ronald McDonald houses. Being there got very stressful, but we were lucky that Daesen was pretty resilient & was able to recover quickly.
Now, Daesen is about 3 1/2 years old he's a very energetic little boy very facetious, he loves to make everyone laugh (as you can see in the top right hand picture). But also very naughty, always instigating fights between his sisters. He loves to play with Legos & hot wheels, he's very dexterous with his hands he likes to create new ways to play with his toys, whether is building Lego ramps off the counter, or launching cars of the bookcase he always finds new ways to have fun. Daesen is also very gregarious, enrolled in his first year of preschool he's always willing to make new friends.
Recently, I've had some family issues that have been happening which caused me not to see my brother as often. The last time I saw my brother was Saturday, August 29 at the carnival. I thought that not seeing my brother for almost a month would be a detriment on our relationship, but gladly it didn't. I thought that it would be rudimentary that I took him with me on all the rides that he wanted to go on & play all the games that he'd like too, knowing that I hadn't seen him in so long. After all the rides & games, I had finally won him a light-up Mohawk that he had wanted making him look very ostentatious to others. We ended that night with some cotton candy & candy apples, I'd have to say that was one of the best nights with my little brother.
Talking about my brother can be a bit emotional for me, knowing that I've been through so much with him. But I'm glad that I've gotten to share this small part.
