Growing up they fought like cats and dogs. Chases that led to an emergency room visit for one and others that ended with a statement from their Mom with “Who started the fire?” Boys will be boys and brothers will always be brothers. No matter the distance, no matter the day, they remain brothers.

Their life paths are traveled in different states but their life’s passion is exactly the same. They still tease each other while they talk of plans for a vacation of adventure, whether it will be chasing storms or a trip to Alaska. They are each others best friends. When one needs the other, they are there. One is easy going and the other is trying to go easy. One is married while the other  is moving on from a troubled relationship. They help each other more than they know. They are all I have ever hoped for. I am so very proud of them.
