Ohana Means.....

In the last post I wrote about mostly my first brother. I had also mentioned near the end about my second brother. Don't worry this is the best follow up I promise.
So kind of scary for my parents with brother one. But brother two had pretty much no complications that I remember.
I would hear, Oh he's healthy, He's as big as David was, He'll be just fine.
And of course that was all correct.
Most of the reasoning of why everyone thought that the two boys were twins is because how fast my second brother grew.
He grew fast just like I did. By the time they were 5 and 6 they were literally the same size and just about half the size of me.
Us three did everything together, whether they were hobbits and I was Aragorn or I was a Jedi Master and they were my Padawans. (By the way they are still really good at dueling.)
Whether we did videos together or just played with action figures, I was the happiest big brother, I think, ever.
There were times, however, that I wasn't as nice to my second brother as I was the first one. For that I am greatly ashamed.
Then when others would pick on him when I did, that's when I realized I was in the wrong. I feel that sometimes I was too late to protect him, even from myself.
They say, "Opposites attract." I think this concept goes for ANY relationship, including brothers or in general, Siblings.
I couldn't see the similarities between my brother and I until at one point in our life he wasn't there, (worst 3 years of my life).
I made every effort to fix our past by trying to help him into his future. I even went as far as saying that I would study Law to get things fixed for him. (Still wouldn't mind being a lawyer if I could afford school.)
I want him to know when he reads this that I love him.
I live by what Stitch said and a quote from a statue in Boystown.
"Ohana means Family, and Family means Nobody gets left behind or Forgotten." - Stitch, Lilo and Stitch.
