Big Brudder

Last week my brother was in town for just a few days. I was so excited for him to arrive. As I was driving to the airport, I was so excited to see him again and to spend the week with him. As soon as I picked him up, I felt like I suddenly became 4 again. I used to feel this way when we'd visit him in Cali or when we'd visit him in Ohio, or even when he lived at home those 3 years after college...but those times I felt that way because I'd get yelled at by him, haha. Grant it, his temper has also changed a lot since then, but I always hated it, because I felt like he was treating me as a kid again and he doesn't need to yell at me. Of course, that was probably some "rebellious teenager" thoughts too. This time was different, I felt like a little kid because I was back to my "omgah~ my brother is so cool~" stage. I felt like the little girl looking up to my brother and wanting to follow him every where. I don't know what made it so different this time, maybe it's because he has changed a lot, maybe it's because he didn't yell at me this time, or maybe because I just really miss hanging out with him. Now that we're older, we can actually talk without him thinking I'm an annoying little sister and without me racking my brain trying to find a topic he'll want to talk to me about, so it's really nice just hanging out and talking. When I was younger my mom always explained to me that we would grow closer as I get older, and I didn't really believe it because being 10 years apart, there wasn't a lot of things to talk about...we had a generation gap, haha. My mom also always encouraged others to have more than one child just because children will grow up and need siblings to be by each other's side and help each other. I really experience that now. I felt it in college too when I'd call him, some times crying, to talk to him about school or church, but even then, I felt like a child talking to an adult. This time, hanging out with him, there was an internal idolization of him, but it was wonderful to just talk.
Sigh, I miss having him around. God, please bring to Texas. hahaha, I wasn't the only one that's been saying that. After the two giant feasts last week, many people are hoping he'll come back. Anyways, I know those are selfish reasons, so may God's will be  done.
