Or he wanted to lend a helping hand with me, I have always admired that he was a hands on learner . Now that he is 4 he really doesn't need much help getting dressed.

They have always been there when I have needed them. They are my best friends.
They are great moms and aunts. They have always been there when I needed a good laugh or a good cry.
They don't hold anything against me. Even if it is something they don't agree on. They offer great advice and their ears to listen to all my gripes, concerns, moans and tears.
They will do anything for my family. They are compassionate. They are O so understanding. They are a good time when we all need one. They are a shoulder to lean on. They are fun to take road trips with. One is 5 years older the other is 5 years younger. I am the middle child. 
They make me thankful for all the small things in life and with out the 2 of them I would be lost!
