In the brother department, I lucked out. I have 4 amazing brothers, whom I love equally, but when I think about my brother Joe it warms my heart. He brightens up my life. He is someone I can count on when I need a helping hand. He is compassionate and loving and always understands. I'm so thankful to have a brother like Joe. There is no other who could fill his shoes. Our feelings for each other are entwined. I always enjoy the things we do together and
when done with Joe they’re always better. Without Joe, what would I do? He's such a good example of what a brother should be. We always get along so well, even when we disagree.
I have a place reserved for my dear brother Joe in my heart. Even when we're not together, I always have him on my mind. It has been so special spending these past couple days with him.
One thing is for sure, m
y bond with Joe
gets stronger everyday. I love him more than words can describe and I look forward to spending our lives together. I could cry thinking about how great my family is and how much I love each and every one of my brothers, but this trip to Germany has been such an eye opening trip on how important my relationship with Joe is and how much I want to nurture and treasure it forever and ever.
