38 years ago I was blessed w/ a very loving & special brother! I often feel a connection to him that may not always be healthy because maybe I love him too much. One time I told him I loved him & missed him & he said Ahh! I felt so sad that he didn't say it back--it hurt it really did but maybe he just wasn't receptive to me that day I don't know really.
Anyhow, being my only & younger brother always gets to me! I guess because he has stepped up more than once & made me feel special when I needed it the most. He has come through when I was hurting on one of my most difficult birthdays & really stepped it up! He has a wonderful wife who at the time was his girlfriend & she came through, too!
I have been blessed in some many ways in my life so far but almost nothing compares to having a brother who has the qualities he has.
Even in some of my darkest hours, he has come through for me. I can't explain it, but when I really had a hard time, when I should have been there for him, he was able to support me. I guess I really am blessed but I hope I have been a blessing to him in some ways!
To all of you who have special brothers, let them know how you feel--they are rare sometimes & so important to us--especially a gal like me who only has one!
Aloha Kathleen...I have come to believe that you are blessed because you deserve it. Maybe he isn't really just a brother and more your own angel in attendance. It could happen...(((hugs)))
