My mom used to tell my sister and I the same thing (usually when I was being a snotty older sister) about how, when we grew up, our siblings would be some of our best friends. I'm finding it true now, as my sister and I talk or see each other nearly every day and my brother and I are actually friends now, instead of siblings that got along. I love seeing my girls' relationships grow and develop, and hope that they'll always be there for each other as they get older.

I LOVE the way you write about that bond unique bond that exists between brothers. <br /><br />Our boys are all grown now (31, 30, 28, 27, and 22), and although they aren't all alike, your words describe them perfectly: "Their personalities are so different, and yet they have a sameness between them that can only be explained by a shared pedigree." They have been groomsmen in each other's weddings, best men in those weddings, godfathers to their nieces and nephews...and they consider each other their best friends.<br /><br />As they were growing up, my husband and I always said we thought the best thing we ever gave our boys was each other. And it's still true.<br /><br />I always love your blog posts--but this one was extra-special. :)Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-68862064176812909252015-03-17T18:47:33.991-06:002015-03-17T18:47:33.991-06:00Oh and I love this!

I would dearly love to instill some common decency for wiping up one's own bodily fluids...<br />Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07923751596148085363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-1831582249025714732015-03-17T11:00:18.178-06:002015-03-17T11:00:18.178-06:00Oh thank you for this.

I asked God to send me something uplifting today because none of my sons have been for the last few weeks and this really helped.

I've tried to instill in them that your siblings are always your first and your best friends. I love my siblings, so much. I would also add cousins in there - I grew up with close cousins, and my kids are very close to their cousins as well.

And two, because I have eight siblings of my own and even though I have close friends, there are none as close to the bond I have with them. We may have drove each other crazy at times growing up but we always have each others back. It's a crazy and beautiful thing. :-)bobbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491963100793055125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1669762298855511295.post-25763173887846785022015-03-16T14:51:54.924-06:002015-03-16T14:51:54.924-06:00I love being a mother to two boys!

It is awesome to see how close they are and how they are brothers through and through.
