Soul Food #106



Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. ~Marc Brown

Even better..being brothers and superheroes~
Lucas changed into Darth Vader shortly thereafter.

It must be great to be met coming off your school bus to walk home by your mom and a Ninja Turtle~
Then spending part of the afternoon in a world of make believe..
I love the lives our 4 grandsons have.
It warms my heart so much~
I don't think anything makes me happier~



All for one and one for all
My brother and my friend
What fun we have
The time we share
Brothers 'til the end.

    Love this; my 2 last boys are only 14 months apart and they have always been extremely close. When they get together again, I can still see them walking to the school but hand in hand; thanks for your lovely words and bring back these memories.

    It seems such a short time ago that our boys were super heroes--together keeping our little world safe!!
    Four grandsons must be a great joy. I can't wait!!

    Best,

    I wonder if Mack will have a little brother :) What a sweet, sweet photo. You are so lucky they live so close to you. I have an adorable photo of Lindsay getting a Ninja Turtle's autograph in DisneyWorld years ago ♥

    I love that picture. Seems just like yesterday that you were blessed with your first grandson. Can't believe he is already going to school.

    There's just something about being brothers that is so different from being sisters. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I can see it in my husband's brothers even as adults.
