i have 2 elder brothers, which also mean I've been having 2 chaperons during my younger days until they are married (now they chaperon their wives and children).
but, being brothers and have been conventionally brought up in the family, they still hold brotherly characteristics and integrity.
being a brother, both of them believe they must always protect the little sister. whatever trials or ordeals they are facing, they have to put on a brave front before the little sister.
my elderest bro would always take care of chaffering me here and there whenever there are family events. his mentality of protection is to make sure i travel safely from one place to another.
my 2nd elder brother would be the same of offering to chauffeuring me around, but what that surprised me one night was he came home out of blue and gave me a designer watch , without any reason or occasion. that was really sweet (well, it's not the value that matters). now we are working adults and we are financially self-reliant, with him giving me the gift, it was like when we were little, my bro saving up and buy a sweet for his little sister.
i called my brother to chit-chat tonight. missing them.
and i know in my life, they are always there watching me.
