A little something I'd like to share...

I've never been able to explain the bond that exists between my brother and me.

The closest I've ever come to describing it is that he's like my twin, only born two years apart.

Then I opened a card he wrote me for my 23rd Birthday...

I've always thought perhaps I have never been able to articulate what he means to me and my world because no one would understand. Then I read the card and realised he understands and not only that, but he also knows how to put it into words that I thought... maybe you would all get.

I know cards are usually quite personal, and indeed so is this one... however as words tend to be my life... I feel his words are ones that I'd like to share.


"Sister,

Someone who has enriched and enhanced a brother's life to no end.
You taught me, cared for me, helped me and above all loved me.
My other half, I would not have grown to be the person I am without you.
Today you inspire me more than ever, the beautiful person you have become.
You have a better sense of self than almost anyone I know.
Life is full of suprises and forks in the road but no matter where ours take us we will always have our other halves.

Love you always and forever."
