I sat in the car as we drove home, I looked out the window as tears streamed out of my eyes, memories played in my head of what it was like when me and kade were little.

Younger pov
Brin brin wake up ! It's Christmas kade said pulling the blankets off me Christmas! I yelled jumping out of bed come on ! I'll race you downstairs go! Kade said speeding down the stairs. You cheater I yelled running behind him then pushing him playfully and laughing. He was 8 at the time and I was 12 we opened presents laughing and together as a family, happy with no worries, are dog wasn't as old and gray he was young and hyper and so we're we. The days were short and we never wanted to go to bed, it was all play and argue. Come on brin ! Let's jump in ! Kade said running to the edge of a big rock that sat above a giant lake. Kade don't its to dangerous I warned but he jumped, I ran to the edge and looked over, kade was in the water sticking his tongue out at me you sissy !!! Get in the water sissy!!! He teased, I got mad and jumped in almost landing on kade, I came up from the water pushing kades head under sttop it ! He said running out of breathe and breathing hard.

I stopped pushing his head under and we swam around like little otters on are backs, we tried catching fish with are hands but we never got any but that didn't matter at the time because it was still fun to watch my little brother slip trying to catch one. We were little and everything to us was a new adventure, something we were curious about we would go and check it out whether it was scary or weird we didn't care. Kade and I were living life the way we were meant to live it.......to the fullest. We stuck together as brother and sister and when my brother got beat up or knocked down I always tried my best to bring him back up to the surface, I know everything will be different, difficult, changing.  It's like half of my heart fell out of my body as if it is missing but I'll never find it or get it back. I will forever have a broken half to my heart.

The day kade was born I was still learning a lot, at the time I didn't understand where babies came from or how they were made, I always asked mom where kade came from she told me he came from heaven and that he was a blessing brought down to earth by god, he was here for me to protect, to teach and to learn from. I remember walking into the hospital with my grandma and tugging on her sleeve is mom gonna be ok? I asked, my grandma laughed trying to explain that theirs a living thing coming out of her. I didn't understand til I walked to a room and looked through the glass, I looked down at my baby brother who was asleep in a little plastic bed thing can...I hold him I asked looking up at my grandma, Later he's napping right now she said softly.

When I held kade he looked up at me and smiled, his little hand wrapped around my finger, his head was fat and his body was small, my mom didn't have much time to teach him to walk, so I did.

When he was 4 one Easter he ran up to me and whispered in my ear that he seen the Easter bunny,I laughed and we walked around, I found my basket but no one could find kade or his basket, we found him 2 hours later sitting in the dryer holding his basket in his lap with his face and hands covered in chocolate, we all laughed, he ate all of his candy that day and got sick throwing up chocolate bunnies and marshmallow peeps. His favorite holiday is Easter because he always liked looking for the eggs and his basket around the house, he became the best at finding the eggs and basket making me left with only my basket and no eggs. I'm suprised how fit he stayed even though he ate about 10 pounds of chocolate every easter. I will forever miss him.

Sorry this chapter is shorter than the others, I hope you liked it... have a HAPPY EASTER and don't eat to much candy!
