My Brothers {(Almost) Wordless Wednesday}

Tommy (next oldest- after me), Mike (youngest), Nick (middle)

This picture means so much to me.

My 3 brothers sitting together on our deck.

The day after our mom passed away.

I think the worst part of my mom's viewing was seeing the 3 of them cry.

Because I'm 7-11 years older than them, I've always felt like a 2nd mom to them.

So it ripped my heart out (even more than I was already hurting) when I saw them break down.

I hate the circumstances that brought them to our house that day, but I love these boys.

(yes, they're still "boys"- always will be)
