Tragedy

I have lost my brother to a car accident. He was 26. He was much more popular and social than I ever was. He left behind his own business and a home that he loved. He left behind family and friends that are going to miss him. My parents and grandparents are shocked that he passed the way he did and when he did. I am going to miss him. We weren't really social with each other, and didn't really have all that much in common as we advanced in our own lifes and ideologies. It is a schock to me that he passed the way he did also. It seemed to me that because of his occupation he took more risks on the road than necessary. Because he fixed cars he acted as if any accident was going to be solvable because he could fix the damage he caused. God found an accident he couldn't get out of and now he is not with us.

I used the context of the events to relay to Amanda that she should reconcile with her brother. I don't know exactly how much he did of what he did to cause her to shun him. I don't like the possibility of losing a family member that you were angry with. I am glad that I was in my brothers good graces, even if we weren't social among the time he had on this earth.
