Brothers

I have two. Growing up my older brother and I were always closer mostly because we are only two years apart. We did most everything together. I knew he would look out for me and we had many conversations about what we were going through in high school and he always listened and helped me figure things out. He went off to college and I followed to the same school I think partially because I knew he was there and would look out for me.
Life has twisted and turned and honestly for many years we were not very close. The busyness of raising kids, working, and other "stuff" got in the way but I am happy to say things have come around  recently. I didn't realize how much I have missed having a big brother. It's nice to have an occasional hug from him and and be in tune with his life a little more.
And yes, I know, this is the most ridiculous picture ever. Not sure who hacked my bangs like that and why for crying out loud are we not all looking at the same place? This is actually the photo my parents ended up getting. Faces only a parent could love.
