If you don’t mind me asking,
 can you cook more?
I think it’s kinda not enough for us.
Oh wow!
So you have the guts to demand for more?
Why?
Do you think I make thousands of money?
If you’re only in a decent job,
you wouldn’t be asking for more.
Eat it or leave it.

You're just as stubborn as your mother.

My problem is that

Huh?

If mom and dad were still alive,
things will surely be different!
Come to think of it,
Aunt Lory.
After they died,
we had the chance to leave.
But, did we?
No!
We chose to live under your roof!
Yes!
Yes!
And ever since that,
you've become nothing but a pain in my eyes!
You and your autistic siblings!
Are they even human?
I have never felt your care and love
even when I was a kid.
And then, what?
You're gonna nag me to do all
the workloads in the house?
Who's paying the bills?
Me!
Did I complain?
These autistic people you're talking about—
they're kids!
They are just kids!
Kids who need understanding.
Kids who need care.
Kids who need love.
Kids who can't even take care of themselves!
You know why we chose to stay?
Because you're alone.
And this is the reason why
you are alone.
Now,
let me ask you the same question.
Are you even human?
I’ll bring your brother home.
I'll be back, I promise.
There!
That's where you're good at!
Leaving in the middle of an argument!
I hope you get lost too!

Note to Self
I’m writing this letter in the hopes that
when I read it again,
we’ll be complete.
Dear Ryle and Reesha,
I can’t wait to be with you again.
I can’t wait to feel your warm embrace.
I want you to know
that nothing can stop me from loving you.
NOT PEOPLE
NOT DISTANCE
NOT TRAGEDY
Distance cannot constrain my love for you.
May you be a street away from me,
or a thousand miles away.
Remember that I’d look for you
 throughout the night and day.
I love you with the fervor
of a thousand burning suns.
My thoughts for you,
immeasurable and true.
Oh, I’d give all I have on Earth
just to be with you
Now,
don’t be scared,
I’ll be with you no matter what.
No one truly stays lost,
you’ll find them in the hearts of those who love them.
Your brother,
Ron
I love you.
Good Job Ryle!
You did great!
