Since I have been home I have been experiencing true older sister syndrome..from discussing girls to handling him when he is sick or hurt...My brother is 16 now and he is growing into a fine young fella.
With that being said I still can't handle all these changes he is going through>>my first day here he drove me (in my car) to get some food>>>on the second day he asked me why I never told him about my ex-boyfriend. I explained to him that my business is MY BUSINESS; however, as his older sister if there are things that he would like to inquire about he has every right to ask. I realize that he is at the age where he is going to start dating (ugghhh...) so as his older sister I want him to be the best and do the best he can as a maturing young man--so it would be wise to explain to him the things that have happen in my life (within reason of course). Today was a little bit of a different kind of sister feeling;today I felt like a worried mother when her child gets hurt.He busted his eye today playing basketball and I had to take him to the hospital to get stitches. He got six stitches in his upper left eye and boy when I tell you I was tripping out like crazy. I think I was more scared and sad then he was. I think if I had tears to cry I probably would have. At first I thought he had been in a fight with some bum up the street (and trust me I was ready to fight forreal). I was kind of relieved when he told me it was from playing basketball, but then I was tripping because I was thinking basketball wasn't safe.
I realized that being an older sister is similar to being a mom; you worry, take care, and look after your younger siblings, and no matter how bad they pissed you off and you want to punch them;they are still yours. I wouldn't trade my brother in for the world and I can honestly say that watching him grow up has been harder for me than it has been for my parents. I can tell I am going to be one of those very over protective sisters, and idk if that is a good idea. All I know is I only have one brother, and I will do my best to help him succeed in whatever he desires to.I have to learn to let him go though; from the past three days I can just tell that this is going to be a hard process.
