big brother, little brother | january 2016

Brother, let me be your shelter, 

I'll never leave you alone.

I'll be the one you call

when you're low.

Brother, let me be your fortress, 

when the night winds are driving on...

be the one the light the way - 

bring you home.

|Need to Breathe feat. Gavin DeGraw|

These two are just about inseparable. Big brother still pushes little brother around and is quite bossy at times, but little brother is always there trying the same (crazy) things. Like a shadow - watching, learning, soaking it in. My heart rejoices in their friendship. Mike & I pray that they'll always be best buds - fighting for each other, celebrating each other, doing life together.

I think, am sure, a brother's love exceeds all the world's loves in its unworldliness.

pluviophile: (n) a lover of rain...

Amos tells me when it rains that it's raining to make puddles for him to jump in. Like his daddy (and most rainy days) his mama, he loves the rain and wants to be outside in it. 

Mooshka, I hope you always love to jump in the puddles and that you'll always go out of your way to splash in them. Know that Solomon is right behind you - splashing..jumping..following..

Splash on, boys, splash on.

snips and snails, and puppy dog tails,

that's what little boys are made of!
