Brothers

“Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero”

 – Marc Brown

When I was little I really, really wanted to have a big brother. Which is technically quite impossible, right? I envied all the other kids at school who did have older siblings, and did not want to hear all those non-stop fighting stories. Those people had a brother, and they did not appreciate how awesome it was to be able to look up to someone, to know they would stand up to you and play with you and  be your partner in crime (I do admit my views were indeed over-idealistic).  I have always been fascinated by that special relationship brothers and sisters had, that secret magical connection which I, an only child, would never experience, would never be allowed in that little circle created by being born into the same family.

Watching the bond between these two brothers makes my heart miss a beat.
