For the last several years, my twin brother has come to visit and stay with me on our birthday in Mid-August. I have truly enjoyed his visits “back home” (from where he lives in Europe), which have included lots of family visiting time and even some motorcycling<\/a>. This year, however, he is out saving the world<\/a>, and cannot come. <\/p>\n

I loved having him stand by my side at our marriage ceremony on April 4<\/a>. Even though that visit was short, having him with me at that most momentous but anticlimactic time was terrific.<\/p>\n

This year I have to work the week of our birthday, but I do plan to take off on my actual birthday. I have never worked on my birthday for all the years I have been working, and am not about to start now! I hope the weather is decent and I can get a motorcycle ride in with some friends.<\/p>\n

I will sincerely miss having the bestest friend a guy could ever share a birthday with this year, but my brother has a higher calling that he is fulfilling<\/a>, and who am I to do anything but cherish our love and friendship, and admire a man who means the world to me.<\/p>\n

This post demonstrates how deep a love between twins can be and is. I am truly blessed with the best brothers and sisters on the planet, but most of all, the best twin — EVER!<\/p>\n

Life is short: love your brother. (And sisters, too, or they’ll pull your hair!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
