Born to rule: Siblings

So there is something to be said about being born first. You are held to a different standard, you always get last picks on things, and to top it off, you are the protector and provider for all those that follow you. Yes I know parents take care of their children as is their job, but the real truth is that siblings are there to care for eachother when parents no longer can. Whether that be through passing away, or just in every day tasks and, my favorite, at school.

My younger brother and I have had a relationship that would be uncommon to most people. We actually like and get along with eachother. Yes we have the regular sibling battles and push eachothers buttons as is customary, but the truth is we do love and care for eachother.

Through losing our father at a young age, instead of  falling apart we, as a family unit, banded together. I can't tell you how many times Matt and I have gone to blows with eachother over stupid things. I think that is the true test of a friendship and sister/brotherhood. How well can you take a beating and still love and care about eachother?

Matt, my brother, just in case you all didn't catch on, is a very interesting individual. He put my head through dry wall when we were younger, and honestly I couldn't love him more. We get along, and we help eachother.

Do you have siblings?Do you care for them as much as you can?

Have you ever thought that after your grandparents, parents, and other family members pass away, that your sibling is all you could end up having? Hard to think about isn't it?

Yes they annoy us and push us beyond our sanity, but when it comes down to it, your siblings are your blood and you should always stay connected to that.

For my brother, *I love you even when you piss me off*,
