I am sitting in my room, on my bed, looking in at Aidan's room...I can't SEE anything, but what I hear is priceless...
In Aidan's room is Aidan and his brother Britton and they are playing. Enjoying each other. Giggling. I am sitting here listening..and imagining..(hey, it wouldn't be me if I weren't)..I am dreaming of the future. When we built this house, and decided to put in a teen suite bathroom for the boys, I dreamed of the following scenario...One of the boys, upset with me, is in their bedroom. The other one, slips through the bathroom to his brother's room and offers moral support...A silly scenario, but having been a teenager at one time, a LONG time ago, one I figure is likely. I have prayed for their relationship since the moment I found out that Aidan was a boy in my tummy. I knew God had given us a second boy for a purpose...I feel it was so Britton would have a best friend..a pal....a comrade in arms... You see, though they will have friends, probably many of them...Friends will come and go...But their brother will remain constant...When mom and dad lay down a law that seems soooo unfair, no one will understand it like their brother...when Josh and I pass on, no one will feel it like their brother. I don't expect them to ONLY lean on each other, friends are great too...but I want them to continue the relationship that is blossoming so beautifully in Aidan's room right now...a relationship that ONLY they understand, and a relationship that brings a smile to my lips.
I love you boys~
