Worst weekend I ever had, just few days after my Christmas break began...Why? Well, let's read the convo that I've provided below when I got a phone call from Matt (my older brother)

Matt: Mike, the news I am telling you won't be good

Me: What? What happened? (At that time, I was baffled and confused)

Matt: Ty (my youner brother who is 16.5 years old) was in a car accident.

That was when my heart started beating like crazy, because two years ago, I lost a very good friend in a worst car accident ever. I was scared as hell when I hear that Ty was in a car accident. Continue the phone convo:

Me: WHAT?!?!?! What happened? Please, PLEASE tell me that Ty is fine!

Matt: Actually, not really... Listen, what I am going to tell you- it ain't pretty...it's not small accident, but a serious accident. Ty was going to hang out with few friends of his and he was on his way to go one of his friend's house. Anyways, he was driving in the car, as the light turned to yellow, he was about to turn right. But out of nowhere, another car that was driving straight, was also driving through the yellow light. It had hit the car (the car that Ty was driving isn't his, but our dad's).

I was panicking and my face was really pale. I was so scared as f*ck to hear the next part...I didn't want to hear those words- Ty is dead. I started praying that Ty is fine, got away without any scratch on him. Continue the phone convo:

Me: Oh my God...God... What happened to Ty? (I was so scared that my fear showed in my voice as I said that...I felt like that I wanted to throw up)

Matt: Ty was pretty messed up... Ty's chin was bleeding, the skin was peeled off from his chin and his face was swollen due to that the airbag hit his face. Ty's chest has some cut because of the seatbelt strap was pressed on his chest so hard as the car was being hit... His left arm was broken since when the car hit the passenger's side, Ty's left arm hit the driver's door so hard. Ty was rushed to the emergency room by the ambulance, and dad got that phone call, then called me. We are here, in the emergency room as of now.

That part- my face was so pale and I had to sit down since I was shaking with fear... But I was SO relieved to hear that Ty is alive... I can't imagine what my life would be like if he died (I am NOT going to THINK about it, EVER AGAIN!!!)

I told my girlfriend about what happened, and like me, she was scared as hell but relieved that he's alive. We rushed to the ER. Let me tell you- I saw Ty, and he looked so messed up... I saw and hug (gently) Ty, I broke down crying because I was so scared and relieved. Ty also cried and said, "Mike, I'm so sorry to scared the hell out of you. But, I'm okay. Everything is fine now..." I am so thankful to God that Ty is alive and is doing okay even though he is in so much pain. I said, "I love you, bro. I can't imagine my life without you... I can't imagine Alex growing up without an uncle that he would never know if something worse had happened to you...Thank God that you are alive so that Alex will know you as he growing up..." I really do love my brothers, and we are very close, no matter how many years apart we are from each other.

God, I will def. make sure that once Alex turns 16, I am NOT going let Alex to be careless when learning how to drive. I AM GOING TO TEACH HIM THE SAFETY AND RESPONSBILITIES, AND I WILL NOT GOING TO GET HIM A CAR RIGHT AWAY. Ok, I think many of you thought that the age to get a license is 17 here in New York State. But, not really. Once you are 16 years old, you have a learner's permit if you want to and must have driving classes for 6 months. If you feel confident with your driving skill by that time, then you can take a road test to get a license. Most importantly, I want EVERYONE (not only teenagers) to be safe drivers, and no deaths from car accidents (well that can't be prevent, that's true)... I think S (my deceased friend who died as a result of a car accident two years ago) is watching over Ty and make sure that he got out of the car safely... I am so happy that Ty is still my life...

Ok, moving on...Alex is doing well, and he is growing so big. I can't believe that in 5 months, he'll be a year old (I know, I've said that in the previous blog, but I can't help it!). Also, I can't believe that my girlfriend and I are together for two years (soon to be three years in few months). I do love my girlfriend, and she is the ONLY one who can make me happy and make me feel better. She's sweet, caring and funny. She is a great mother to Alex, really. I am really lucky to have her in my life. I remember the first time I met her (that'll be another story for another time) and the first time I fell in love with her. Mind you, we do have our up and down at times, but our love for each other made our relationship stronger. My girlfriend always make Alex as her first priority. She didn't care if she'll miss out things with her friends since she knows that taking care of Alex is more important. I feel the same way, as well. But, we do balance taking care of Alex, school and hanging out with our friends. Our friends help to babysit Alex sometimes, not all the time, whenever my girlfriend and I want to go out on a date, just two of us. I am thankful that our families and our friends are there for my girlfriend and me whenever we need it.

Well, I'm really tired, so I'd better go to bed. Good night! Oh, before I forgot, HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE!
