A milestone day

His brown hair to my blond.
His brown eyes to my green.
His right hand to my left.
His shy, quiet nature to my... well... loud verbosity.

We're total opposites.  But we've got one thing in common: We're siblings.   That's a bond that has an unspoken, indescribable connection.  It's something that no one can take away.

Today is a very special day.  Today is my brother's 30th birthday.  He has conquered many milestones and his birthday is an exciting celebration of his achievements and the promise of his future.  I am so excited for his life and the trajectory that it's going.

So happy happy happy birthday big brother!  I hope your birthday brings you many smiles, fond memories of your past, hopeful wishes for your future, and a feeling that you are very loved-- because you are!  Happy birthday!
