Tomorrow is Brothers Day, a day to honor the brothers in our lives and take time to celebrate them. Whether you grew up with one brother or a few or have a friend you love like a brother, today’s holiday gives you a terrific reason to spend time together or get in touch. The day has been around since 1997, when it was created by a woman named C. Daniel Rhodes in honor of her brother. Unfortunately I've not come up with much more information about it.
As many of you know, I lost my youngest brother Leo early this year. It was a difficult time but I am blessed with the knowledge that I will be reunited with him someday. I have one remaining brother, my younger brother Bud, and though he has gotten to be a crochety old man I love him to pieces. While Leo was still here, Bud started texting him "Happy Friday" each week so that he know he was okay and wouldn't worry. He included me in the idea and still texts me each week. I'm going to text him tomorrow and tell him it's National Brother's Day. He'll think it's weird but I'm doing it anyway. If you have a brother and are near enough to be able to get together I encourage you to do so even if it's just to give them a giant hug.
I didn't know this holiday was today! I will text both of my older brothers right now! Thanks Tonna!
