I have always been a shy person, my mother raised me and my older brother by her self as my father died in a car accident, which was reported as a minor hit and run case. I was 4 years old my brother was 12 and from a very early age started to work he used to help out the neighbors in giving out newspaper and also taking out the garbage bags. So we knew it was hard so one day my mother fell sick and we moved to our aunt house. My brother worked his way towards college and started an online business and was very successful as he always used to say that if we have a lot of money we can put mom in the best hospital in the country . One day mom suddenly collapsed in her room and passed away, I was 14 years old at the time. We both were very sad at that moment I decided that I will work after graduation. My brother asked me to finish my studies but I had something else in my mind.Today is my mother death anniversary it's been 3 years since we lost her, so today my brother will visit us after a long time. Whenever I call him and ask him to come visit us his answer is the same, the place reminds me of mom and I cannot breath thinking of my mother is not anymore in world. Today the restaurant will be closed and we will spend this day in remembrance of my mother who spent here life for her children. I called Simon and asked him to visit us and join us on this day. I wanted Simon to meet my brother. Simon came early in the morning knocked on the door. I thought it is my brother but it was Simon. I was glad and felt happy that after so many years I have someone that I close to me who I can share my pain when. We sat and talked about my mother all day it was getting dark as the sun was setting, Simon asked me that he would be leaving, but I thought that I would make him meet my brother but my brother was no wear to be found. As Simon stood up to leave I heard a knock on the door, I ran towards the door opened the door to find my brother with tears in his eyes unable to even look at the door. I hanged him and carried him inside my and aunt and Simon was looking at my brother in so much pain so they left us alone. I tired to talk to my brother asked him so many questions yet he kept quiet and his head bowed down and tears falling on the lap.Micheal, hey Micheal it's alright I said mom is in a good place let's not cry and make her worry for us again.Micheal: I know that Maggie but this house makes me remember all the hard times mom had.His words and emotions made me cry and I too was holding my emotions and was not able to control my self but this time it was different I had Simon. When Simon heard me cry he rushed towards me and hugged me and it felt warm and I felt at peace. My aunt entered the room and and yelled no more crying lets eat my famous Crispy Chicken, Micheal you have no idea now I am a celebrity in this town. Micheal laughed and stood up looked at me and than put his hand forward towards Simon.Micheal: hello Simon I am Micheal Maggies brother, nice to meet youSimon: the pleasure is all my mine Micheal.We sat at the dining table ate food quietly while Simon put his left hand over my right hand and  after we finished the food Simon left. Micheal was quiet the entire evening. Micheal sat on the near my moms chair for a while and than came near me and said:Simon is a good person, I think he will forever and ever keep you safe and happy.I knew Micheal would say that I just wanted to hear it with my own ears it made me very happy. Than he asked me to call aunt Susan, I called herAunt Susan: So Micheal i am going to demolish these rooms and add them to the restaurant are you ok with it.Micheal: Yes Mam I am out moms memories will always leave with us in our thoughts, you do what you think is best, so will be leaving now the next time I will visit this part of the house would have become a sitting area for customers.Aunt Susan: Yes, you take care do visit us more often.
