A Brother's Love

This is a beautiful and true story of a brother and his eternal love for his sister...i really liked it..hope you all will enjoy!!

Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They found out that the new baby was going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in mommy's tummy he was building a bond of love with his little sister before he even met her.

The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen, an active member of The Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee.

In time, the labor pains came. Soon it was every five minutes, every three.. every minute. But serious complications arose during delivery and Karen found herself in hours of labor. Would a C-section be required? finally, after a long struggle, Michael's little sister was born. But she was in very serious condition. With a siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee.

The days inched by. The little girl got worse. The pediatrician had to tell the parents, "There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst." Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery about a burial plot. They had fixed up a special room in their house for their new baby but now they found themselves having to plan for a funeral. Michael, however, kept begging his parents to let him see his sister.

"I want to sing to her," he kept saying. Week two in intensive care looked as if a funeral would come before the week was over. Michael kept nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive care, Karen decided to take Michael whether they liked it or not! If he didn't see his sister right then, he may never see her alive. She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU. He looked like a walking laundry basket. But the head nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed, "Get that kid out here now! No children are allowed."

The mother rose up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed right into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"

Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. After a moment, he began to sing. In the pure-hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray ---" Instantly the baby girl seemed to respond. The pulse rate began to calm down and become steady.

"Keep on singing, Michael," encouraged Karen with tears in her eyes. "You never know, dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away". As Michael sang to his sister, the baby's ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as a kitten's purr.

"Keep on singing, sweetheart!!!"

"The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms. . . Michael's little sister began to relax as rest, healing rest, seemed to sweep over her. "Keep on singing, Michael." Tears had now conquered the face of the bossy head nurse. Karen glowed.

"You are my sunshine, my only Sunshine, please don't, take my sunshine away..."

The next day...the very next day...the little girl was well enough to go home! Woman's Day Magazine called it "The Miracle of a Brother's Song." The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God's love!

NEVER GIVE UP ON THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE. LOVE IS SO INCREDIBLY POWERFUL.

Would have never come to know..

well i didnt evr thought tat i wll ever write something like this...fr my frnd.Anyways dis one is for u..Amy

Amy...my first frnd.We were nt best frnds,but still their was something ...'something' very special ...very peculair(bt both of us..didnt evr understand it..).We were from same school bt nt frm same class,she was my junior, and my neighbour too.. But still,together we played,laughed and fought.I still remember the day ,i don remember exactly i was in 6th std , we were going to shift in our new home..n i was crying because i loved tat place my friends,tat playground..everything meant so much to me..the whole day i sat on the slider, watching evryone playing .And it was from tat day me n Amy never played together.

But our school was same...as the time passed our relationship changed..changed completely.We use to speak occasionally..we participated in many competitions ...she alwys stood 1st..n me alwys second and sometimes not at all in the list of winners.I don knw...what went wrong..why everything changed.

I still remember it was 15 august..and both of us were asked to introduce the chief guest(i don remember his name..was in 10th std) .And the part of the speech included how that person won so many national awards..and i was supposed to read those lines.When our mam was taking our practice she shouted...'this the way..ur gonna read ,do u even knw hw important those lines are...oh! hw can i expect this from you...u never cleared any national level exams , hw can u knw its importance.Amy jus read those lines..n show her how to read..with variations in tone.. n expressions(as she won gold medal in many exams).

Though Amy behaved normally at that time..but i was deeply wounded inside..so much that even now when i remember that i just feel so embarrassed ,and from that time i always averted her.I never envied he,but always felt an inferiority complex to talk with her..and she always behaved rudely with my friends..n tat was the strong reason ..that i stoped talking with her completely.

But she always tried to talk with me..though she knew i was not interested.Then i got my results..n left the school...n tat time i thot our relationship came to an end.But i was wrong..we once again became frnds through net..we started chatting,sharing ....somehow the ruined relation was now retrieving its original colour .And i don knw what went wrong... she blocked me.

Today i am feeling extremely bad..why??may be because she was very close to me..and i myself didnt knew it..and would have never known ..if she would have not blocked me!!
