“To the outside
world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as
we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We
remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys.
We live outside the
touch of time.”
~Clara Ortega~

I always knew the relationship my brother & I have was unusually special...We get each other, have the same humour & genuinely really love each other as people let alone siblings...

Now, Craig, he's just as lucky- His sister absolutely adores him- Since I came into the picture 10+ years ago, I've watched my lovely sister-in-law Ashley grow up before my eyes...She's a writer herself & has a little, witty blog called We have Arts Degrees- The World? Not so artsy...So now we blog.
Ashley wrote a very touching post about Reid, our Happy Little Soul that y'all should check out...You can find it HERE...She & a few others also wrote new letters to Pip that you can find in Dear Sweet Reid...
So, we've been blessed to have special sibling relationships- I can honestly say growing up I truly never wanted a sister & was more than happy having just my brother...I treat him, I think how I would a sister- He really is one of my best friends...
If Noal & Reid have even half of what Air & I have they will be beyond lucky...But from the looks of it their relationship might be more special than any of us can imagine...
I love watching my two hooligans together & I'm so happy that we are now going to be lucky enough to watch them grow up together...The thought of losing Reid last week was more than enough for any mumma to go through, but the thought of Noal not having her around, really put me over the edge...When she was in heart failure & in the hospital a few months ago, it killed me when Noal would look around the house for her, calling out her name & asking for her when I picked him up from daycare...
So, I really, truly can't even tell you how happy I was to bring Noal's "Reeeee" back home to him...Right where she belongs...Enjoy each other kiddos...
And Air & Ash- Love you both big time...
