So in the second week of November 2022, me and my family toke my little brother Who is 15 years old to the hospital because he felt muscles pain on many places in/on his body sudenly, had a fever and chest pain. We tought it might be caused by exhustion of him playing football and basket almost everyday and also jogging. But at the hospital after 1 week of examinating him with many things without finding anything, they then found out that he has leukemia.

Those news made our daily life upside down because many things changed and it effected our work, school and private life. But we are doing our best to cope with everything and helping him. With the help from the hospital and his family, he is doping fine and the healing process is going faster. I did my best ro keep my emotions inside and act though. I m the oldest of my siblings so its not good to scare them. Just being cheerful is the best option. And I decided to act normal with my sick brother and not to show pity for him. I m afraid if i do, he Will act more weak and thing that he won't recover.

But he is also taking adventage of the situation and making our mom and us to buy him anything and drive us around like servants. Its annoying, but he is sick so i can't be angry at him, but i won't be soft on him the way mom do anyway.


I m not used to having a very sick person in my family like that, so it was hard to choose how to act like.

How would you act like. Share your story if you want.
