Brothers
We have much in common
Like fishing, football, scrabble and more
We have Ph.D's in psychology
We have adopted children
We live a thousand miles away
And are seventeen years apart
Yet remain close
Maybe it is in the genes
It is a true blessing of my life that I enjoy my brother's company. With the distance in years and miles that separate us, odds are not good that this would be true. But it is and we are like best friends as well as brothers.
Part of the closeness may be related to genetic factors and similarities in parenting, in where we grew up and general environment. Yet that can only be a part of it because each of us knows brothers and sisters who are distant from each other and simply don't like each other.
Perhaps some of it is due to similar interests, but I believe a larger part is due to acceptance of ourselves and each other, the way we are.
Recently my brother and I entered a football pool with 46 participants and we came in first and second. Something about brothers being in sinc?
Brothers and sisters send love and acceptance.
