My brother sent me flowers

[mrsstats]

with a card that said "Just because you are my sister and I love you"

He is the best brother in the world. We have always been close and we remain so now.

Of course, my DH said, that doesnt mean I don't love you. Sometimes he doesn't understand my relationship with my brother.

That's awesome! I think it is great that you are so close with your brother. I hope my kids stay close when they get older. I am close with my sister. There is nothing like a sibling.

Great brothers rock! I have one too. He always is there for me and is my baby brother. We have the best relationship I could ask for with a sibling.
My last birthday he got me a gift that brought tears to my eyes as he was really listening to me. I had mentioned wanting a photo printer months earlier. Just once and in a "I would love one of those" kind of way. Well he filed it away and pulled it out for my birthday! More than the gifts though, he is there for me whenever I need him and I am there for him.

That brought happy tears to my eyes...What a brother you have..

Is there backstory here?

It is always nice to get flowers. I think my brother would need a head injury to send me flowers...but I'm happy for you.

Why would your husband think your brother's flowers had anything to do with him?

You are so lucky. The only thing my brother ever gave me was cold.

 

[talulabelle]

I am some how reminded of an episode of Friends.

remember? Rachels boyfriend and his sister. He didn't understand why women he dated were annoyed or threatened by his relationship with his sister.

 

[CEDmom]

That's awsome . I have 3 brothers and while we've had our moments I wouldn't trade them in.

For my 30th birthday they gave me a day at a spa. It was totally their idea and they did all the research to find the best one near where I lived at the time. I cried when I opened it.

I have a brother.
Annoying at the time.
But all siblings are at my age.
But we are close.
I figure it'll stay that way when we are adults.

Probably cuz her DH doesn't get her flowers.....

My big bro is the best - but all I got today was a phone call discussing the Weather Channel and football season. Ya see, he's a Yankees fan...... So I was there for him today!

My brother is 10 years younger than I, and he's my best friend. I adore him beyond belief! He's now 15, 6'3'' and known as the 'Viking Warrior' at school, but will still tell me he loves me when his friends are around. (My parents are soooo jealous!!) He was my 'man of honour' at my wedding 2 years ago, and I plan on naming my first child after him. There's such a special relationship between siblings!

How sweet! So heartwarming for siblings to remain close throughout life!

 

[Regina]

Aww, that is so sweet!

 

[Chattyaholic]

That is so sweet! It's nice when a brother and sister love each other!

My DS and DD have gotten better over the past few years. They used to argue and fuss with each other so much while they were growing up, drove me nuts!!

I got flowers from my son once, and it wasn't my birthday or anything like that. He was going through a rough time (his wife had to spend 3-months in jail for bad check charges, they are now divorced) and worked the night shift so he needed someone to be there for the two children while he worked/slept. I would drive down (about a mile) to his house at 10:00 at night, the kids were already in bed of course, and sleep there then put his DD on the bus in the morning and bring his DS back to my house for the morning then take him back down to his house about 11:00 to wait for the kindergarten bus and put him on it.

DS had flowers sent to me after he was able to change shifts and not have to work overnight, just to thank me for all my help.

Is there backstory here?

No, not really. My brother & DH are friends (thru our marriage). We vacation with them, bowl with them and have spent many good times with them. DH is just a little jealous I think of our relationship since he does not have it with his own siblings.

 

[Barbossa]

This is encouraging. My DD6 and DS4 get along really, really well. I have 3 sisters and we aren't close at all. Hopefully my kids will remain tight throughout their lives.

 

[DisneyAddict_M]

That's sweet. My sister and I have a relationship like that. On the first wedding anniversary after my exh and I separated, my sister sent me a big tin of gourmet cookies just to make me feel better. She's always doing stuff like that. She's 9 years older than me and has always been like a second mother.

My other sister and my brother are just as wonderful. I don't know where I'd be without my siblings. They're truly my best friends.

 

[Freyja]

That´s wonderful. But you must be my sister. Because my brother is the best brother in the world too.

 

[Mandy_in_NC]

If my brother sent me flowers I would think I was dieing and nobody had the guts to tell me.

 

[believe]

Brothers can be great, as can sisters. My brothers are also great. I never have to worry if my girls are 'double booked' and DH is working, my brothers will always step in and help.

As a whole my DH has struggled with understanding my 'family', but totally enjoys getting the benefits.
