A story of brotherhood.
Chan was just 20 years old and about to take on a responsibility that he wasn't sure he could handle.

Amelia instantly melted.
Her lips curled into a smile as Chan began talking.
"Amelia, as soon as I met you, I felt this connection. A sort of understanding that I've never felt with anyone before.
And the more you came into my life, the more at peace I felt.
You made all the things that were turbulent, suddenly seem calm.
I used to think "what am I doing with my life?" But now I know. I know what I want. I don't feel lost anymore.
I never thought that someone like you, would end up with someone like me, because I have a lot of baggage. I had basically come to the conclusion that I would never be in a relationship, but then you came along, and you changed everything."
By this point, Amelia started crying.
"I didn't know it was possible to love someone the way I love you, Amelia. I didn't ever imagine that a person like you could really exist in this world, and that I would be so blessed as to find you.
I want to be with you for the rest of my life. I want to make you happy. I want to make you feel so safe and so worthy of respect.
I want us to raise our family together, and solve problems together. I want our kids to be happy and feel loved by us together.
I don't want to live in this world without you. I can't.
So, Amelia... Will you marry me?"
Amelia leaned forward and wrapped her arms around Chan tearfully.
