My Little Sis met with an accident

Very often, my siblings and I were left to fend for ourselves when we were little. Very often, Terence, my elder brother had to take on the responsibility of taking care of my little sister. Wherever my brother went, my little sis tagged along. One evening, when I was in primary 3 (my little sis was 4 yrs my junior), my brother had brought her along for some errand. Unfortunately, she was knocked down by a motorcycle while they attempted to cross the road. She sufferred abrasions and severe burns to her hands and legs and was sent to SGH by ambulance. Though not life threatening, the pain must be excruciating for a little girl. Terence must have been traumatised. During every subsequent return to the hospital to change her dressing (often accompanied by my elder sis), my little sis would be terrified and cried till the entire episode is over. Thank god she recovered fully eventually.
