Not everyone know that I have a special brother. My brother used to be a healthy baby not until Meningitis paralyzed him.  It started with a high fever which turned out to be a disease that almost took his life away.

My brother survived Meningitis at 6 months old but his nervous system was severely affected. His growth and development were hampered and he remained bed ridden in his entire life. In God’s grace, he’s still with us and will turn 33 years old this year.

As far as I can remember, it was only last night when I dreamt about him. I partially lifted him to give him a better sitting position. My brother can’t speak. He can't understand words. He can't communicate. But in that dream, he said something to me. It was unclear but the words I heard were “Thank you.”

I woke up feeling suddenly bothered, worried and nervous. What does that mean? Dear God, you know how I feel…
