My brother’s pole. He sure did some damage – there are no tricks to these photographs.

3:14am Monday.

I can’t sleep.

My brother was in a car accident yesterday morning. He’d just dropped somebody home, and he aquaplaned. It’s been raining a lot the past couple of days. Hit a pole. The car’s a write-off.

I went upstairs in the morning.. I don’t even remember why.. But I remember Dad telling me that my “brother’s in the hospital”. My heart stopped. I went down there straight away, and Mum told me not to panic – that he was “okay” – but I wish she’d warned me that there were cords everywhere, that he was on oxygen, and that he was wearing a neck brace. It scared the sh’t out of me.

And how is he? Cracked pelvis, hairline fracture in one of the vertebrae in his neck (so he’s still in the brace), and a bruised lung – which they have to monitor to make sure blood clots don’t form. He’s going to be in hospital at least a week. Pretty sure it will be one of the longest weeks of my life.

I know he’s all grown and he’s almost 19 now, but he’s my little brother. And I love him to pieces.
