that would be brother #1....one of the smartest, funniest, sensitive, talented and occasionally rigid and annoying people about whom i care very deeply....we were built-in childhood playmates. like most of us, he's made some whopper mistakes in his life and also suffered terribly at times, but through it all we've kept him close and made sure he knows he's loved beyond words no matter what--that's our definition of family. he's been there for me during some of my own incredible boo-boos and for that i'm always thankful. wishing him a fantastic day, birthday or not.
Sounds like you have got the definition of family right.
ReplyDeleteAre you close in age to this brother, then?
my mother has 4 children, all 4 years apart....so i am closest to him in age....
