But as he got older, it became more obvious. When something didn’t go his 35 , he got angry and it took hours to 36 him down. He would talk to himself and play with string. We could never 37 to give him his medicine, otherwise he’d go wild. I was always 38 when we took him anywhere, and I never wanted to bring any of my friends 39 with me.
When I was 10, I felt like I couldn’t 40 it any more. I’d shout at him for being different and would ask 41 he couldn’t be normal. Of course, he had no 42 what I was talking about. It became very hard, 43 when a friend of mine didn’t want to come over 44 her mom had said my brother was dangerous. Our fights 45 up until one day he came up to me. He gave me a big 46 , like he was saying, “I don’t know what I did 47 , but I hope you still love me.” At that moment I realized that I’d better learn to 48 him.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how 49 I really am. Having him as a brother has made me kinder and more patient. No matter how busy my 50 is, he’ll always listen to my problems. I worry about his future, but I know he’ll always be loved.
