a brother's love

I've known a brother's love. I was an older brother. And now I have two sons, and I can see the perspective of each of them. I'd not considered things from my younger bro's point of view growing up. But now my sons are just two years apart and it's a fascinating dynamic. Obviously Joe, five, greatly looks up to his big brother. And naturally, Rylen, all of seven, is typical big brother material - strong, protective, wiser, etc. Recently Joe was acting scared at nighttime. They share a bedroom. Though a big brother of any age somewhat needs his "space", Rylen hopped in bed with Joe, casually, when asked to do so. He did it of love, and without making Joe feel embarrassed or afraid to have asked. Rylen wants his space, but was selfless to recognize a brother's need, however simple. Joe mumbled something about it being the best night ever. A brother's love, quite a massive experience.
