I Cried When I Saw the Crowd

All of you are the golden heart my little brother is holding. Thank you for loving him. =D

Holding back tears as I stood there smiling at them, I felt really happy and touched at the same time. You see, my little brother just finished his 'BIG' exam today and since he's transferring to a new school next week, today will be the last day he'll be seeing his friends. To be honest, my youngest brother has always been known to be the heart of his class. He may be mischievous, playful, talkative and a pain in the butt sometimes, but when it comes to being kind and helpful, he's the one. Every teacher who knows him, every parent who have spoken to him, every one of his friends who've met him, they all love him all just the same. They'll always remember him for him.

As I stood there at the school gate, I saw a crowd around him. It gave me a shock because I thought he might be bullied or something. But when I looked carefully, I realized that one of them had a pen in his hand while the rest were frantically snatching the pen from each other. They were signing their names on my little brother's collar. There was his basketball teacher who also came over and just stood there watching with smiling eyes. Even though he was telling them to stop, I knew that he very much wanted to sign his name too. But a teacher got to show a good example right? Lol... Anyways, I just stood there smiling and I very much wanted to cry because it just touched my heart somehow. I'm not sure why but maybe it's because of the big, happy smile stamped on my brother's face. Maybe it's the fact that I felt happy that my brother has such wonderful friends. Maybe it's because I know that my brother will never have to go without friends in his life.

I'm really glad to know that my brother didn't cross the same pathway as I did. I'm happy that he's not a loner and that he has so many friends who really mean true to him. I hope that despite his leaving them, they'll always always stay in touch with each other.

Thank you to all his friends for loving him all these years. And even though you guys aren't the smartest of the smartest, don't worry. That's not important at all. What's important is that you guys have a heart of gold! All of you made one person feel like he actually mattered to someone. Thank you on behalf of him. =D
