Is there anything in the world quite like a bond with your brothers? Growing up, you might have had countless fights with them. They can drive you crazy and make you want to pull your hair out. You might not always see eye to eye with them, but it’s hard not to love your siblings. And even though it’s easy to get annoyed by them sometimes, some moments make it all worth it.
They are the only ones who have been there for us since the beginning. They are our first playmates and punching bags. They teach us how to be tough but also that it is ok to cry from time to time. Just a glance is enough for them to understand us like no one else can, and they always seem to know what we’re thinking without saying a word. They are our biggest supporters and our greatest critics (never ever will a brother miss the opportunity to tell you that your outfit sucks!) — but always with good intentions behind it all.
Are you lucky enough to have some brotherly love in your life already? Then count your blessings and enjoy being around them as much as possible! If you want to show some appreciation to your brothers, or if you know someone that is like a brother to you, then there is no better way to let them know how much they mean to you than with one of the many brother quotes below!
