@MontereyJohn: He was always the "cute little brother" but sometimes a 'nuisance' for her in the early years. :D
@Viewfinder: Thank you, Glenn.
EYES WIDE SHUT from THE LIBRARY OF MY SOUL, United Kingdom
A lovely portrait. How we become closer to our siblings the older we become. As kids my sis and I fought like mad, now it is a different story

Barbara from Florida, United States
A loving image between brother and sister. Funny how 5 years shrinks as you get older.
Beautiful smiles!

@Barbara: It's the loving feelings that matter, not the years; thanks, Barb!
Jen from Alpharetta, United States
Isn't it wonderful how (most of the time) siblings grow up to be such great friends?
My sisters and I used to fight like cats and dogs when we were kids and now I feel very blessed to have two sisters that I can call my closest friends!
Great shot

@Jen: The wisdom we gain as the years pass, changes our perspectives! :D
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
this is so heartwarming!i have an older brother but we never really got along,he is four years my senior.Sometimes i think it could be because I was fostered out until I was 6 so we never really bonded,or because my parents are very traditional and favoured boys to girls,so we were in a sense in a different league.I was always very envious of my friends who were very close to their brothers.I also have a sister,used not to get along nor talk much too but now we are quite close.I do hope Ian and Caleb become close friends too!

@tyan: Your heritage obviously altered your feelings as a young child, and that is sad to me, but it was what it was.
The love you give your boys will break that 'traditional' pattern and they won't have the stigmas you did.
Your boys will benefit by the newer, open world they'll be exposed to, which you didn't have growing up.
Thank you, Tyan, for your open comment.

@Scott Schilling: Thanks, Scott.
As their mother, composition, lighting, etc., were NOT the main point for this shot! :D
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
great shot, and you're right, the older we get, the less the difference in years matters....my younger sister, by 12 years, will appear here in a shot this week coming....used to be i changed her diapers....now we do lots of fun stuff together!!
19 Mar 2009 10:24pm
@Susan: Wow, 12 years is a greater difference, but thankfully you're now on the 'same page'. :D
@john4jack: They've changed over the years, but are still so lovable! :D
JJ from Jersey City, United States
Wonderful capture of them both, a sweet shot, funny how in younger years there's so much sibling rivalry but with age you appreciate them more

@JJ: Thanks, JJ. I lost my only sibling, a younger brother in 2000, and miss him. Now our two children have been without their sibling for a yeat, so this reunion was most special.
@Lorraine: They cherished the short time they had together!
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
