An unknown person once said “In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often and love with all your heart. You may never get that chance again” This quote means never take people who care for granted. They could be gone in a split second so cherish them while they are still around. I learned that when my brother, Nicolas, on Sunday June 21, 2015 got into a serious car crash. I am so thankful that my brother is still around. It was the last day of Sugarfest in Sebewaing, a festival that celebrates the sugar factory in Sebewaing, which provides many jobs to the people in town. My brother was 16 and I was 12. We were going to go to the midway to ride the rides but when I woke up that morning, I was as sick as a dog. Therefore, I decided to stay home. It was the last day so not a lot of people would be there anyway. After breakfast, my brother said goodbye and he was sorry that I was sick then he went on …show more content…
He was taking his friend home after an afternoon of riding rides and consuming junk food like a pig. If I would have went with him that day, he would have never taken his friend home, which means he would have been on that road and he never would have swerved off the road to avoid that deer. After a while I realized that it wasn’t my fault, and I should be thankful that I still had brother around. My brother and I always used to fight and bicker before he crashed. Now after almost losing him, we are closer than ever. I can tell him anything and talk crap anyone and he will listen. I do the same for him. Never take anyone in life for granted, because no one can know if it will be the last time that they see someone. The day my brother got into a crash was possibly the scariest day of my life. People will come and go in life, while they are there, make sure to tell them how important and loved that they are. The chances are limited and may never come
