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 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!
Aw! I love this! Am so glad y'all have each other!! 🙂
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.
This post deserves one word- but please read it as it is typed (all long and drawn out)
AAaaAAWWwwWWwwWWwwWW
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!
Hooray for good brothers! Sounds like you have a great one. 🙂
What a sweet post!! This totally warmed my heart! You are so blessed with your siblingship!!…love that word btw 🙂
this is beautiful, amy! it's wonderful how much you and your brother love each other and support each other. it's such an encouragment to see siblinships like yours. 🙂
*tears*
I love you both!
Aw, it's so encouraging to read about your relationship with your brother! I'm so glad you two have each other! Your brother seems like quite the catch. 🙂
This is ridiculously sweet. I'm glad that you have one another. (:
SO sweet. I always wanted a brother, I think it's such a unique and wonderful relationship.
ahh what a nice brother you have and what a wonderful relationship you have as siblings!
"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.
Amy, that's so special that you have such an amazing bond with your brother. It's hard, knowing it came out of such devastation, but it's also wonderful!
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!
This is seriously so wonderful. I lovelovelove the relationship you and your brother have. After so much tragedy, praise God he brought you two together and you are on the same team doin' life together. He seems so awesome, I am so glad you have such a sweet little bro 🙂 ah! this is one of my favorite posts ever!
He is so sweet!! Newest follower!
