Brothers are a gift from God. Mine is my support, my boon companion and friend. He does not quilt but is first wife did and we can talk quilts for hours. We can talk books, politics, baseball and children with no need to feel self conscious if we do not agree. We just walked through the death of our father and we were each others best emotional supporters. I am so please I have him and not the sister I dreamed of oh so many years ago.
Give that brother the biggest hug you can and tell him you love him for his kind thoughtfulness to you and your family at this stressful time.
