My big brother is one of the most kind and sincere heart men in my life. His heart is bigger than his head sometimes, that is why sometimes I look at him when my head fools me. Last night we gather, he and his wife will perform Umrah in 9 days. We apologized for what we've done and my big bro kiss my forehead. I realize how my big bro has been very care for me since forever. They'll leave their kids, 7 yo and 3.5 yo. The little family are amazingly close at each other.
