Day 4 of focusing new attention on things I am grateful for. Today I'm highlighting my brother. I don't want to be focusing on people EVERY day, but it's hard not to with the incredible people in my life.
My brother is in town for Thanksgiving, and he's my best friend. I don't get to see him nearly often enough and time with him is extra extra special.
He is a smart, kind, incredible man. I don't know if he would use this particular label, but he has some old-school tendencies. He is strong in his masculinity and acts as "the man of the family." He's always looking out for me and my parents, trying to make sure everyone and everything is okay. He drove my to and from Thanksgiving last night, didn't push me to leave until I was ready, helped my carry things, bounced from room-to-room as my comfort level dictated. Essentially he behaved as the perfect date.
First thing today he helped me with housework. There are things I haven't been able to do lately because of my back injury, and too big of projects for my faster to do alone. So my brother went with my dad to tackle all this housework the morning after Thanksgiving, on his vacation.
