Give Thanks: Day 22 - Brotherly Love / First Friends

Matthew and Gabe
We are thankful for our two sweet boys and the love that they share for each other. They are just so sweet together. Matthew is such an amazing big brother. It is a great blessing to watch Gabe light up to see Matthew and to see Matthew reciprocate. Matthew loves to take care of Gabe. He doesn't like hearing Gabe cry. At the ripe age of 4, he will drop anything he is doing to take care of his baby brother. Gabe watches Matthew's every move. Matthew knows this and takes every opportunity to make Gabe laugh, even if he has to resort to just tickling him, and Gabe knows exactly how to make Matthew laugh too. All he has to do is look at him. Matthew thinks everything about Gabe is funny. Watching them interact together just blesses our hearts, because they are more than brothers; they are friends. It is our prayer that they will always be like this. We know that time will bring them tests and curve balls, but we pray that they will appreciate and always be there for each other, that they will understand how irreplaceable they are in each others lives and that they will always remember the first friend that they have had in each other.
