Speaking of Siblings

Let me tell you this quick story.

Over the course of my life, these gentlemen have been more than brothers to me.

Whenever I get myself into trouble or find myself in a predicament that I would need their advice and support, my high school brothers would never let me down.

During my Senior Year, due to a big argument with a family member, they kicked me out.

I remember trying to think where I was going to go and live. Or who would take me in at a moments notice.

I immediately thought of going to my best friend, Darwin’s house. I know for sure he would calm me down and figure stuff out while I crash at their place.

I’m there most of the time anyways.

I ended up living at my Dad’s but that’s because I stopped over quickly since he lived closer. He didn’t let me leave after I told him what happened.

Anyway, my point is, family is not only defined by blood alone.

Sometimes, you have to have the Heart as well.

And these guys have them.

They have been more than family to me.

Wishes On A Fountain

After church, my son and I walked by a fountain on their grounds,
and he wanted to throw a coin in and make a wish.

So we got some coins in the car,
and had this conversation.

He said, “Okay Dad, we got two coins. One for me and one for you.”

“You can have my coin.” I answered.

He said.
“Why? Don’t you want to make a wish?”

Jokingly, I said. “It’s okay. You can have my wish.
Mine doesn’t always come true. Maybe it’ll come true with you.”

He insisted I throw my own coin and make my own wish.
I gave in.

So, we got to the fountain and he went first.
Closed his eyes.
Concentrated.
And threw the coin.
Then looks at me for my turn.

As I throw my coin, I said to him.
“I wish for your wish to come true.”

He screamed, “NO!”
“Why did you wish that, Dad?”

“Why not?” I asked.

He answered,
“Because that was my wish for you.”

That’s great.
Now we just cancelled each others wish out.
And we’re out of coins.


Sweet kid though, huh?
