Watching Mylie and Blake together just makes me so happy! Of course, half the time I am telling her to "get off of him" or "be soft!" But the thing I have realized that most of the time when she is in his face playing with him, it is only bothering me. He is laughing his head off. He loves loves loves his big sister. When he sees her he gets the biggest grin ever and she says "He loves me Mom!" Yep sis, he does. You will teach him so much, you will be his best play pal and his protector ... then he will get big and he will be yours. You two will conspire together and get in trouble together and make messes together. You will laugh together. You will fight and get mad at each other, but defend each other only the way a sibling could. You will confide in each other and tease each other. You will consider each other best friends and consider each other pests. You will give each other black eyes and give each other hugs. You will share toys, friends, bikes, and fight over all those things too. Someday you will grow up and move away (sniff, sniff) and you will miss each other terribly. But the thing about siblings is this, it doesn't matter how far away you live from each other, having siblings is having a built in best friend.
Your siblings are the only people in the world who know what it's like to have been brought up the way you were.
To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers (and sisters). We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.
