I am in awe at just how time flies by so fast. It seems like yesterday when I used to bully my baby brother and drink all of his milk. Now, my baby brother is a baby no more, now my worst enemy is my bestest friend in the whole world. On the 22nd of April, my brother turned 26! Omg! 26?! Is my brother really that old? Wait, does this mean I am really old, since I am his big sis?! I really wish I could rewind the hands of time. It's funny how long ago, my brother and I would fight almost every minute of every day. I used to be such a mean big sis to him when we were kids. I would lock him out of the playroom or hide all the toys that way he would never get to play with them. Then somehow, as we had gotten older, our bond had changed, we grew together. We learned to share and take care of each other.

I even recall a time when my brother was so annoying that I kicked him, thus as you can see in the above picture, my brother lost his front tooth. Tsk tsk...And in that other picture, there goes my brother sucking on his fingers, while I am drinking all of his milk.
I do thank God, for giving me a brother. A brother who has always been so patient with me. A brother who accepts my meanness and has taught me to become a better person. I want to thank God for giving me not just any brother, but my baby brother. He is my best friend, my strength and my happiness.
My brother moved to California years ago. I should be used to his absence by now. I should be used to seeing him just a couple times of the year. But honestly, I am still not used to it. I long for the old days when we would celebrate birthdays together.

To one of my favorite persons in the whole world, Happy birthday my dear!

So sweet, the love you have for your brother! So fun that you are so close in age and now!
Happy birthday to your baby brother! I can totally relate to your brother/sister relationship. My kuya and i were the worst enemies when we were younger... always fighting but now we are great friends and i can always count on him... i guess most sibling relationships evolve like that :)
Beautiful post Mel--happy belated b-day to your brother. You two are lucky to have each other.

what a sweet post- happy birthday (even though I'm late) to your brother! xo
I'm the youngest so I don't know what it's like to have a younger sibling, but being a younger sibling can suck like hell.
Congrats on getting along with your brother.
What a sweet little flashback! I just love looking at old photos!!
Awww, aren't siblings wonderful. It's great when they become friends as we get older!
Happy Belated Birthday to him!
Aww, happy belated birthday to your brother! Me and my sister seem to have the same relationship -- seemingly enemies when we were young, got closer as we grew older, and then she moved off to the other side of the country in British Columbia. Hope we both get to reunite with our siblings more often :D Hope you had a great weekend!!
Awww what a cute pic of you and your man :)
