Our 37 years together

There is one person in my life I have known longer than any other.

I would even say that technically I have known him longer than my parents.

He is my brother. My twin brother. Today is his birthday.

As I have mentioned before, probably on numerous occasions, I am extremely emotional and sentimental, especially on days like today.

He is my rock. If ever I am carrying on about something, which is often, all I need to do is call him and he will tell it to me straight. All fears gone.

So here we are....our 37 years together.....

One of the first. I think that is me on the right and him on the left.

Several months old. Me on the left, him on the right.

One of my all time fave photos! We used upside down chairs as horses!

My little brother was born today...

Back in 1976. It was a stormy Saturday when my little red haired cherub brother was born on 20 November at 6.18pm.

The very early days
Today he turned 36. When this day rolls around every year I always reminisce about days gone by and the years spent together. I just can't help myself, I am an over thinker, too emotional and very sentimental.

He is a great guy. I am sure I haven't always thought that, I do remember a time in our early teens when trying to injure each other was very high on the agenda for both of us. Surely this is common for all siblings during this coming of age time - isn't it?

Thankfully we have left those pesky teen years behind and are very good friends now.

My family is extremely important to me. I don't know where I would be without them. My brother is no exception.

He is always there when I need him; last minute wedding preps, emergency trips to the hospital, emergency baby sitting and of course he is the integral cog in our Great Landscaping Challenge.

I know you can't pick your family but damn I got lucky with mine. I hope that Little Miss 4 thinks the same as she grows up and has great memories with her brother/sister that she can look back on when she is 36.

Just the early years
Do you have a super sibling?
