today i learned that communication is key.

i saw my brother feeling turmoiled and very distressed.
distraught he didn't get to wear his favorite pajamas because his younger brother said he didn't get a chance to wear them so he had to sacrifice, leaving my brother daniel feeling very torn and sad.
i saw that daniel kept covering his ears and eyes, crying over what had happened.
this is unhealthy, i told him. you need to talk it out.
as i calmed him down and he started to take a breather.
i gave him some time as he caught his breathe and thoughts.
he started gaining control of his actions as he came around to talk out his emotions, letting go of his distress.
it was a healthy, let go.
then he told me about his day and what he learned at vbs.
i told him that i loved him very much.
he fell asleep.
i left the room.

i learned a very valuable lesson through this.
today i learned that communication is key.
