For being 8.5 years apart they have created a bond that I believe to be unbreakable.
There is going to be a day where she needs his help....with moving, painting or fixing her car. For now I enjoy watching her be his big sister and he lets her with a smile. They say I love you when one is leaving, they hug and kiss goodnight. I know as he grows this will fade. She can get Dub to give her a hug and kiss still but G resists 98% of the time now that he's a teenager. So for now I will relish in T's sweet voice asking JJ to help him, hearing JJ yell out I love you as we drop him off at a sleepover and him shouting it back.
It's these little moments that make all the hair pulling, head banging, nail biting moments seem not so bad. I catch a glimpse of them on the couch, sitting close and it takes my breath away. I hear them talking and giggling together and my heart smiles. These are the moments that get me through the stressful moments.
It's too bad we can't take moments, bottle them up and reopen them when we need to.
