Little Sisters and Big Brothers

Andrew is 18 now, and usually has a pretty full schedule, with work, school, his band, and socializing.  (He is currently "single", having broken up with his girlfriend of last summer.)  He still makes time to play video games with Eler Beth or watch certain TV shows or movies that they both find amusing.  It means a lot to Eler Beth, and he really is a good-hearted boy.  But this week he has been just super busy and hasn't had the time for her that she feels like he should have had.

Well she just found out that he is going to Nashville, TN this weekend with his best friend Jason and won't be back until Sunday night.  I heard her ask him, wistfully, "Don't you ever miss us when you're gone?"

His answer surprised me. "Yes.  Yes I do, actually."

That was nice for both of us to know!

What a good son and  a sweetheart!

I wish my oldest was like that. He's 16 and can't wait to get "out of here"

You are very blessed!

Love,
Michelle

The same thing goes for little brothers.  My youngest grandson misses his brother so much when he's gone.  Sounds like Eler Beth and Andrew have a good relationship.  Nice to know he misses family, too.   Have a great day!   Pat

Your kids are wonderful. I love the fact they want to be around one another the way they do. (Hugs) Indigo

Awww, I always wished I had a big brother...even a sister I guess.  This is so neat to hear, I hope they always remain close.
