Brendan And His Breaks: A Fictional Narrative

Hi guys! This past weekend we were graced with a much needed fall break. After a few weeks of constant studying, it was nice to have a four day weekend to sit back and relax. After my two tests on Friday I drove seven hours to meet my dad and my girlfriend's dad in Pittsfield Illinois for a few day hunting trip at a lease that my dad has. It was a long drive, but it was worth it when I arrived to a 16oz prime rib at one of my favorite restaurants, the Red Dome. Unfortunately the corn and soybeans had not yet been cut around our farm so we did not see as many deer as usual, but we still had fun and relaxed for a few days.

This week has been one of hardest weeks I have had to endure since the break of Jeffery and I. I have not been able to focus on absolutely anything. My children do not notice that I am going through this pain, at least I don’t think that they have noticed. I am in church praying and hoping that God will make a way for me soon, but as of right now, I am wearing an artificial smile on my face to hind the grief I am subdued to everyday.

BANG! BANG! BANG! Was the sound I was use to waking up every morning. It was early in the morning I dreaded our early morning skate. Going from a hot humid day to cool ice rink is very refreshing. This year was voted captain, something that I was very proud of. We had a game this wednesday evening. The team we were playing were animals every one of them. The sport those boys played was more like cage fighting than hockey. When we were warming up Jack, the captain on the other team came over to me, he has always been a bully in a way.

“You can’t live in this. When it warms up more, you will need fresh air in the apartment. Have you told the Superintendent that you want something done?”

"What did he say?” the boy in jeans and a gray t-shirt whispers. I looked up, and my muddy brown eyes met his ocean blue ones. I’d never noticed the flecks of gold that they contain before; I almost drown in the pristine pools before I come up for air.

My realization at five years old that my older brother, Sean, was different than my younger brother and me, sparked a period of personal growth that continues to inform my understanding of others today. Sean was born with a partial chromosomal translocation that upset his mid-line development, resulting in severe physical and mental disabilities. As a three-day old, his doctors predicted a lifespan ranging from six weeks to six months. Today, Sean is twenty-two years old. His doctors, past and present, have no explanation as to how this is. I do. It is Sean’s singular ability to be happy that compels him to wake each morning and bless us with his presence.
