Brotherly love is a bond that should remain unbroken, and for my brother and I that has largely proven to be true. We may have our differences – vast and many and sometimes irreconcilable – but we are brothers, and nothing will ever change or alter that. Today is my brother’s birthday – and since he’s the only brother I have (to my knowledge) I hold him a little closer to my heart in spite of any differences.
Over the years, I’ve seen him change and grow, while doing some changing and growing myself, and we find ourselves having more in common than we may have realized. We also understand our differences a little better, and rather than having them work against us, we are more amenable to accepting them and loving each other. His children and fiancée Landrie have gone a long way toward bringing us closer together as well, and that’s the way it should be.
As he embarks upon his next trip around the sun, I wish him the best – Happy Birthday Powie!
