This past weekend, I had the great joy of being at my nephew's baptism. The opportunity to be present for the event was something I would not have missed for any reason. Not only was it an important event for my nephew, but also my brother & my sister(-in-law)'s family.
Of all the gifts I have been given, one of the most cherished is the gift of my big brother. It is often said that boys will be boys, but I would like to take that one step further...
...brothers will be brothers. At times as children growing up, we had a love/annoy relationship, but he was always my big brother. Being as close in age to each other as we are, less than 2 years apart, I am sure we challenged to patience of our parents.
As an adult, he has been a point of support & love that goes beyond words. This past Christmas, one of the memorable events was helping him set-up presents from Santa on Christmas Eve for my niece & nephew. It was a gift, however unintended, that was the most meaningful of the season.
He is without question, a big brother, & for that I am grateful for.
