Braggin’ on my brother beast.

Siblings…

What a hilarious balanced relationship, one minute you love them and the next you still love them but want to punch them in the face. 🙂 If you’ve got a sibling i’m sure you know what i’m talking about. 
I remember being younger {before my parents passed} and my brother would annoy me so much. I mean seriously, he was an awesome athlete, always wanted to sit in mom or dads lap, everyone loved his cute curly hair, ugh boys {read, jealousy}. Trust me, you’d be jealous of his blonde curly locks and bright blue eyes too–dude stole all of my first born attention!

After my dad died i became angry really angry. I took a lot of that anger/frustration/pain out on my brother, poor dude he was too puny to defend himself. 
Real talk – my mom ended up buying me a punching bag to put in the garage to help me vent out my anger in a healthier way instead of pinning my brother down constantly or pushing him into the closest furniture/wall near me. I don’t know why this dude still loves me after the way i treated him, maybe he’s just wired to love me unconditionally, holla.

As we got older and went through more devastation together our bond strengthened.
I remember when they told him mom passed away, it was early in the morning and i had to stand in the other room because i couldn’t see his heart break, but i heard everything. When they told him he started to cry and the first words out of his mouth were, “where’s amy?” i can’t really explain the joy, heartbreak, and connection that moment built between us.

Over the last 8 years {how long it’s been since mom died, meaning both parents have been gone} our siblingship has gone through many seasons: strength, growth, frustration, annoying, tearing down, building up, laughing, crying, etc.
I left for college {ha, 20 minutes away} and our relationship was set on a new path…one that actually took work because we didn’t see each other often. I didn’t realize how much i would miss his annoying face until i wasn’t living at home anymore. I missed watching tv with him, playing games, telling stories and picking on each other. I missed asking him to get me a glass of sweet tea, i mean why should i have to get my own glass?? I missed having a connection with someone who knew my pain and didn’t ask to understand if i started crying randomly or got a little snippy…lando understood, because he lived through the pain and heartbreak with me.

He’s my brother beast. 
He’s my broseph.
He’s simply awesome.
He’s athletic, charming, loves Jesus, is compassionate, so intelligent, freaking hilarious, patient, witty, serious, and a deep thinker….oh and ladies, he’s single ;).
He even leaves comments on my posts {oh my gosh so rare!}.

So why all of this gushing about my bro?
Well, he’ll be coming home this weekend for spring break!
{this was another path on our journey, him moving 4 hours away to go to college. you want to talk about a transition? That was a tough one!}
We’ve been texting back and forth randomly about life, bow hunting, grocery lists, and tobi when he randomly sends this text message {his text is in yellow}:

SO SWEET.
Seriously i had little happy tears forming in my eyes, and i just wanted to squeeze his face.
I just wanted to give my bro a shout out on the ol’ bloggy blog.
I know he didn’t do this for recognition, he probably had no idea i would put his text on the blog.
I just like to brag on him, because he is my earthly rock. He keeps me grounded, makes me laugh, and reminds me that i’m never alone and awesome. =)
So, brother beast, i’m happy to call you my brother. I’m glad we had parents and a family that raised us right and taught us to love each other even when we didn’t like each other.
You rock bro, and as Maria said yesterday “you get mad cool points” :).
. . .
Get your posts ready for frankly friday tomorrow!

    This is very sweet. I wish I could have a good relationship with my brother, but he has too many problems right now and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

    That is so sweet! Siblingship is something only the siblings involved will ever understand. Before Cristian moved away for college, I was only working part-time and every Friday after I got off work, we'd go to lunch together. So now, even with me working full-time and him living an hour and a half away, when he comes home we make it a point to go to a lunch or dinner together just me and him, like old times. I may want to hit him in the face sometimes, but I still love him! Love seeing all this sibling love here! And yay for brothers being home for spring break!

    "maybe he's just wired to love me unconditionally, holla."
    haha that made me laugh.
    but this was a beautiful post about you and your brother.
    I, too have lost a parent and no one really understands what it's like to lose a parent until you actually do.
    It's true that sometimes your siblings are the ONLY ones who understand.
    really beautiful post, Amy, one I could read over and over again and never get tired of.

    Yay! Sibling love is always something special. Growing up it was always a love/hate with my sister. Now it's more love because we're separated and it's harder get on each other's nerves if we're not together. Siblings definitely "get" each other in a way no one else can.

    This is so sweet. You and your brother have obviously gone through so much over the years. I can't imagine what it is like to lose both parents so young. That's heart wrenching. You two are so strong and I'm so thankful that you've had each other!
