He's coming home. I can't remember how it is that I know him because no one ever really talks about him. I'm excited to have another brother. He can't replace the brother I lost last year, but he will be an addition to the family I love so much. I know my whole family sees me as a clueless eight-year-old. Just because I didn't cry when they told me that my brother had died, they think I'm too young to understand that he's never coming back. Truth is, I think there's something wrong with me. I love my brother soo much, more than anyone else in the world and I know that he's never coming back. But I feel nothing. Absolutely nothing. I want to cry, I do. But I just can't.
Back to today though; I'm getting another brother!

He's not paying any attention to me. He's busy going up and down the yard in shorts. I've never seen grown men wear shorts that short. He's weird. He has a smile though, always laughing. It's okay, even if he's ignoring me, everyone ignores me sometimes.
They are having a cleansing ceremony for him because he's from jail. I heard my sisters saying he's been in jail for the past 10 years. That's even older than me! He doesn't look like a bad person though, I don't understand why he was in jail. I thought only bad people went to jail. It's okay though, he's family, he won't hurt us.
