I have three brothers, two of them are younger than I am. I love them dearly. I cry with them when they're in pain, I rejoice with them in their victories. I cannot imagine life without them. They mean the world to me.
Just a few weeks ago, I have found myself a new brother. He is a lot younger than I am. Well, you guys might think that he is my brother from another father or another mother, but it isn't like that. He is a brother from an imaginary family. A family where, we are the the children, but, we don't know who our parents are. We just happen to have found each other.
My new li'l brother and I were introduced in a rafting trip. We were an instant click. :). We changed contact numbers and then we started communicating through text messaging. And just like my blood brothers, he has allowed me to become a participant of his life. In just a very short time, i have known almost everything about him and I have felt familial love, and then a sense of responsibility.
If there exist such thing as the past life, I would like to believe that he used to be my little brother, or I am the one who brought him into the world as his birth mother. :).
Have you ever met someone, who, on the first encounter, you've felt that as if you have known that person since forever?
I just have, and I'm glad that I have. :)

I've met someone like that before. It's amazing the wonders that the universe holds. Everyone has their own explanations for why things happen the way they do, or what really causes these feelings that we have known each other before, but whatever the reason is... it's beautiful when we can find family and loved ones in that way.

I celebrate the joy that all of us get from such relationships. It is very awesome that so many have had similar experiences. I know I have, both with brothers and sisters!

It is really nice to have a kid bro or sis. I am the youngest in the family. And that is what I am missing. And I wish i have. I really envy those with younger bro or sis. I want to become an elder sis. But it is impossible now. Becuase I am already old and so my parents are. lol

Wow Izathewzia...
You are the only youngest whom I know who wants a kid bro or sis. Just the thought of having another sibling makes our youngest brother roll his eyes with disgust, even until now that he's already 22. LOL.
But you can be a Big sis to your friends Iza, I'm pretty sure you'll make a good one because you desire to be one. God bless you. :)

Amazingly enough I have three brothers as well and two of them younger than me too. I understand what you mean by not being able to imagine life without them. I mean I talk to them about everything and they talk to me about everything. I can help them to the best of my abilities. I'm sad when I can't do more, but they are so understanding. They know if I could I would give them the world. And now I'm trying to earn money left and right to make sure things work out for them the way they want it to. I know not everyone can get what they want but I want to be able to give them the majority of those things.
I think its great that you've found another brother. It's great how you can connect with someone you never knew before. For me its like my friends, in the beginning you never really know your friend until you start to talk and communicate. And I have so many friends and I'm so appreciative of each and everyone of them. Without them it would be hard for me to still survive day in and day out. They help me out in so many ways. Especially financially cause I'm struggling with money. But they are there for me. I include them as family I rarely every just call them friends. They are my family. I would do anything and everything I could for them.
It's just great the world we live in regardless of the horrible times, you know you can always find someone who is just great. They are out there somewhere and they will find you one day. God Bless everyone.
