As much as I say being in this chair SUCKS...I'm very happy to be here...my brother Jaison is the one who found me in the water and got me out...I know without him doing that I might not be here today...I tell him thank you pretty much everyday which he replies with don't start...maybe it's my age or being a guy but I don't know any other way of showing him how greatful I am.

My buddy is the one that pulled me out of the water. I'm pretty much in the same situation as you. If he hadn't have been there, I would've drowned, no doubt. I've told him thanks countless times, but a simple "thanks" just doesn't feel like it's enough. I guess they know we're thankful for what they did and maybe that's all they need. =/
Fear is the dumbest thing that we've ever created in our minds; its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing.

Seeing you alive and taking advantage of life will be thanks enough for your brother. He didn't pull you out of the water to hold a debt of obligation over you. But I understand your desire to somehow show him your appreciation for the part he played.
I think this is a simple one. You want to show him gratitude? Enjoy life and live it to the full. Become a man among men. Smile. Be generous. Seize every opportunity offered and create others that aren't. Work a way through the hard times, and bring your strength of character to the forefront of any struggle. Learn to leave bitterness, anger, jealousy and guilt out of your life.
When he sees you happy, know that he WILL be happy inside.
And remember the thing called: Pay It Forward. Repay kindness to you with kindness to others.

Only after we have lost everything, are we free to do anything.
