Brothers

It all started when you wanted to sit next to Radley. So you climbed up on the sofa...

And then you wanted to give him a hug...

And you thought that was very funny...

Then I asked if you wanted to hold him...and you reached for him. I helped you get him situated...

And you smiled...as if this was the coolest thing you had done all day.

Your momma teared up a bit and watched as you two hung out together. You were so excited and so gentle with him....at first.

And then you squeezed him a little more and a little harder and until he finally squealed in protest and I freed him from your grasp...

But for one minute in time, the world paused for us in our little house as you and your brother got to know each other a little better.
