iReport —

I was about 6 when my brother arrived home from the hospital, and I instantly decided he did not belong to US. He was red, wrinkled and had squinty slanted eyes! But, my mother insisted we KEEP him! Through our childhood we had our moments, but mostly I resented his cute red hair and sweet smile! He stole my teddy bear and beat it into rags!! However, he and his wife are now my HEROES!

Due to my husbands progressive hearing loss and unemployment we nearly lost our home recently. That grown up wrinkled red baby now has a beard and a BIG heart! Thanks to his Love and kindness to us we still have our little home! Thanks also to his wife for her support in this .

Always remember, as I do, family is based on love...that lasts FOREVER!

Celebrate the love of your family!

We thank God for the family we treasure!

Thank you brother and sister inlaw, from the deepest part of my heart!
