Oh, Brother!

Brothers...there are gifts given to us in this life that we can not physically touch and measure. The gift of brotherhood is a gift of an unbreakable bond that ties these two together for time and all eternity. We are lucky to have three of the most amazing boys. I am constantly amazed at how well they take care of each and support each other. It melts my heart to see them interact and the way Truman lights up when his brothers enter a room. He cherishes every moment they are with him and play with him and wrestle with him and of course tease him...but he has such a great sense of humor that he teases back, even without words. 

Our two older boys are so lucky to have the opportunity to know and love Truman. They have learned so much, experienced so much more than other siblings. I think about how compassionate and tolerant they are and I know it is because they get to see the world through different lenses. It is difficult at times for them, I am certain of that, but they selflessly put his needs before theirs more times than I can count. For that I am grateful and at times I feel guilty. But the lessons they are learning from their younger brother are precious and so valuable to these developing, amazing young men.
