Something I Remember

One night back in '99, I was talking to my friend Erwin over the phone. And I remember I was crying because "Remington is growing up so fast...He is in high school now." At that time, I guess I was being too emotional over Rem being a teenager.

I never felt this with Kevin and Adrian (For Adrian, maybe because I was already here during his puberty stage). I guess it was because Rem is closer to me in age than Kev and Adrian. I considered him my young brother because we grew up together. We did things together - Ocean Park (HK trips), swimming, guitar lessons, etc. We remembered the same stuff - pet names, breeding pigeons and chicken (Hehe), driver and yaya names, living on Roosevelt Avenue, etc. We had more things in common (still have).

He is the brother I feel most connected to. And he is the brother that I will protect now more than anything else.
