My brother

After visitng my older brother Mike last week and his family, it was the first time I have seen similarities between us.

My brother and I have always been the 'brother and sister that you would say are "opposites" and you would never guess we are related.

I am not sure if it has come with age but I noticed many mannerisms that we share; this last visit, and many times I would be doing or saying something and I would stop myself and think " wow, I feel just like my brother right now ".

Maybe I was in denial (come-on when you are a kid, who wants to be like their older bullying brother ) or maybe as I said, with age, we have grown alike. All I can say is, if we are alike now, I am proud of that, he is a good guy, a good man and father and I have forgiven him for tieing me to coffee tables, for standing on my hair, scaring me at night and for all of the bumps and bruises. LOL!!!

It builds character, right?

I am lucky to have him as my brother and I cannot imagine my childhood and adulthood without him.
