I Love My Little Brother
My little brother Will is 9 years younger than me. For that reason, I've always been very protective of him. He's 18 now (which is hard to believe!) and I'm 26. I love him more than I could express.
I recently read a Yahoo story about two brothers who texted during the Parkland shooting, both afraid for their lives, but assuring each other that they would make it out okay (which they did, and it's brought them closer).
Reading that story was incredibly sad but also uplifting. I couldn't imagine how I'd react if my brother were in danger like that, especially if we were both in it together and I felt there wasn't anything I could do to protect him. But the story also showed the triumph of a brotherly bond, which is incredibly important. So many people I know are estranged from their siblings and I'm glad that I'm not, even despite our difference in age.
I hope I'm always close with my brother and I hope more people appreciate their siblings :)
