Hi friends, I’m sorry I haven’t really been online lately. My little brother was in a horrible accident where almost 80% of his body was burned.
He’s been in the hospital for weeks but has now finally recovered enough for us to be sure he will survive❤️
I obviously haven’t felt much motivation for reading in this time, but when my brother is home and feeling better again, I’m sure I’ll be back💗

Huda Oh my god I'm so very sorry how is he now? Feeling better? I am so sorry for him. I hope he gets better as soon as possible and regain his health in the best way possible. Don't worry about reading at all, you just focus on him and take care of him and yourself too, babe.
sending lots of prayers and hugs for you guys🫂🫂❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Imme  van Gorp @Huda — Thank you, sweetheart!!❤️ He’s really doing much better already. He’s outside of any life-threatening danger now, and he’s already been awake and talking for a while now! He still has a long way to go, but I’m just so happy he’s still with us and that he’s been so strong throughout all of this; I’m really very proud of him❤️

message 8: by Dann (new)

Dann Oh my goodness, Imme, that's terrible! I'm so glad he's going to be okay and will keep getting better!


message 9: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Via — Thank you💗💗 He’ll make the best recovery he can, I’m sure! He’ll always have scars and he lost a few of his fingers, but after some heavy physical therapy in the future, they told us he will be able to walk again and do almost everything the way he used to💗


message 10: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Dann — It’s something I never expected to happen, ever. It’s one of those things you know happens to a few very unfortunate people, but not something that will ever happen to someone you know and love! Until it does happen… I still haven’t really processed it, and I break down each time I think about what my sweet brother is going through right now, but at least he’s going to make it and will keep getting better and better❤️

ivanareadsalot 💖💖💖Lots of love to you and yours, always, Imme! Sending your brother high healing vibes and positivity for his healing journey 💖💖💖

Imme  van Gorp @ivana — Thank you, sweetheart! That warms my heart🥰 He can really use all the well-wishes he can get; his recovery is so awful to get through, and it’s really tough on him. I know for a fact I wouldn’t be able to do it, and he’s only 17 having to go through this hell😢

Yes he is alive and that is all that matters. I hope he gets through this harsh time of his life easily. I just saw he is 17 and my heart hurts more.

message 15: by SK (new)

SK Am so sorry to hear that, love. Sending you all well wishes and prayers. This couldn't have been easy, but praying for his speedy recovery. Take all the time you need 💜


message 16: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Huda — 17 really is too young for anything like this to happen to someone… and he is seriously the sweetest boy ever; it’s so unfair, but i do know he’s going to get through it cus he’s so strong❤️


message 17: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Ivana — Thank you, sweetie, you’re the absolute kindest❤️❤️


message 18: by Emma (new)

Emma Griffioen i am so sorry to hear this Imme, i will be thinking of you, your brother and family❤️


message 19: by J (new)

J Very sorry to hear this, Imme. I'm glad your brother is out of immediate danger and at least beginning to heal. I'm sure he can tackle any difficulties ahead with the love of his family and friends helping him along. Best positive vibes for you and everyone you hold dear.


message 20: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @SK — Thank you🧡 It really has been far from easy, but I feel like the worst is at least behind us!! <3


message 21: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @emma — thank you darling, I appreciate you❤️❤️


message 22: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Joseph — Thank you so much!! I really feel the same way; if he was able to get through these past weeks, he can get through the rest too! His family and friends will always be here for him, but I feel like we’re all gaining the most support from how STRONG he is HIMSELF! He is so inspiring, and I continue to be in awe of the way he’s been through all of this. He is still the kindest, sweetest boy on the planet, whereas I feel like I would be nothing but angry and upset if I were him in that situation!!


message 23: by Elisa (new)

message 30: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Maddie — Thank you!! Everyone’s kind words and love really mean a lot❤️


message 31: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Sonja — It’s been a complete nightmare, but he truly has more strength than anyone I’ve ever seen and he will surely make it through his recovery the best he can💗💗 He’s also so young at 17, which makes this all the more awful for him mentally, but it does mean that his his body will heal better because of that❤️


message 32: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Cara — Thank you, love!! Of course I truly try my very hardest to be there in any way he needs, and I hate that he has to do most of the work on his own and I can’t do much for him when it comes to his pain and recovery😭 I really appreciate all the support you guys have been sending our way, though <3


message 33: by selin (new)

selin oh my god love, i’m so sorry.. but i’m so happy that he is surviving and in better conditions now, please let us know if you need anything! our prayers are with you and your family, sending lots of hugs! ❤️‍🩹

kendyl ʚ♡⃛ɞ (hiatus) oh my god i am so so sorry. sending all my love, prayers, and hugs your way ml🫂


len [ia bc of school] ❀ so sorry to hear this, imme, but so glad to know you're prioritizing your little brother. if my older brother was in a similar situation, i'd be feeling the same. you just don't have the same motivation and urge to read when there are more important things to take care of. please take all the time off you need and i hope your brother heals soon. sending you my best wishes. ❤️


message 37: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @selin — thank you, sweetheart! these kind and sweet words really mean a lot❤️ I truly cannot express in words the relief I feel that he has survived, because it could have turned out so much differently… I’ll make sure to give my brother all the hugs y’all have been sending <3


message 38: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @nia — thanks, love! it’s difficult because there really isn’t much I can do to help other than be there for him mentally. I can’t take away his pain or his struggles, even though I so wish I could… I truly believe he has the strength to get through this though, and he’s already doing so well considering everything that’s happened❤️


message 39: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @kendyl — thank you, sweetie❤️ all the love you guys have been sending truly means a lot to me right now🥰 this platform just has the kindest people on here


message 40: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @elena — Thank you, love!💗 It really is exactly like that; even in the moments when I can’t be with him at the hospital, I still just can’t find the energy or motivation to dive into some fictional story right now. My mind is simply fully occupied with thoughts about him and what’s happened… How can I think about anything else when my baby brother was fighting for his life for weeks, and now fighting for the future ability to do something as mundane as walk…!? He’ll heal, I know he will, but the journey is just so hard and painful for him; it’s breaking my heart every day.

oliv omg😢 i hope everything is fine with him, you and your family, Imme! 🙌


message 42: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @orlean — He isn’t fine yet, but I know he will be eventually❤️ and as long as he makes it through this, me and my family will end up fine too! Thank you💞


Shile (Hazard's Version) on-hiatus So sorry about that. Wishing him a quick and full recovery. Hugs. 💗


message 44: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Shile — Thank you!❤️ His doctors already said he was a miracle for surviving everything, so I have a lot of faith in his powers of recovery💗


message 45: by JD (new)

JD Oh no Imme, that is horrible. Good luck to you and your family during this hard time, and your brother will be in our thoughts and prayers.


message 46: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @JD — Thank you so much! It really has been hell, but I know we at least have the worst behind us❤️ and truly, everyone’s kind words here really warm my heart <3


message 47: by Morgan (new)

Morgan ♓︎ watching your loved one hurt like that must be incredibly traumatizing ❤️❤️❤️ wishing for you both to have speedy recoveries on your healing journeys


message 48: by Jan (new)

Jan This is horrendous! I am so terribly sorry. 💔I hope he makes a full and quick recovery. Sending good vibes to you and all your family in this difficult time. 🤍

Mila omg Imme, I am so sorry to hear that. My heart breaks for your family, thank god your brother is alive and healing🙏🏻take all the time you need. Wishing your brother a speedy recovery, and may he get his health back🙏🏻Sending you and your family good vibes, we will be here when you decide to come back. Love you!💙


message 50: by Imme (new)

Imme  van Gorp @Morgan — Thank you, sweetheart!❤️ It truly is a traumatizing experience, and I do think I might eventually ask for some professional help, especially to get the accident itself out of my head. I’m really glad that my brother at least doesn’t seem to remember the accident itself happening or the first few weeks in the hospital, so that’s a small mercy, because truly… having to remember all that happening to you would be horrible😭
