“I call him little brother but he is bigger than I am and probably smarter too. I still remember holding him in the hospital, bursting into tears because ten-year-old me had never held anything so beautiful. Seeing him all grown up aches a little; nostalgia and pride all balled up in one. I wonder why there isn’t a word for a feeling like that. --Little brother” — Emily Byrnes
