National Brother’s Day

Tomorrow is National Brother’s Day.  Do you have a brother you care about that you can call?

Growing up if you had a brother you could have many memories, good and bad.  If your brother was older he could have been helpful at times and also tortuous at other times.

We recall a story of a woman who had an older brother who used to make her play goalie in a pick up hockey game.

A  middle brother between two sisters can get interesting too.  There’s plenty of sibling rivalry going on along with a push or shove along the way.

Having a brother growing up builds bonds and as you age those bonds can become closer.  It’s someone who knows you and cares about you that can carry throughout your life.

There is no guarantee that everyone in the family will get along but if you can get through the trials and tribulations it can turn out really well.

There are a few famous brothers who seem to have done well together.

The Brothers Grimm, Jacob and Wilhelm, created fairy tales that are still popular today.

Orville and Wilbur Wright were aviation pioneers who invented, built and flew the very first airplane.

The most famous of the Marx brothers, Chico, Harpo and Groucho made it in Hollywood.

For hockey lovers, the four Staal brothers from Canada all played in the National Hockey League for one season.

On National Brother’s Day, it doesn’t matter if you are famous to the world.  Your brother is the famous one in your life so check in with him and tell him how much you care.
