Better Together.

While blog hopping this evening, I discovered this video trailer.

And, although the younger brother has Down's Syndrome, the similarities in age and personality styles comparatively to my two...just held my heart still and filled it with happiness.

Ab and Deak were supposed to be together.

I'd like to think they conspired together in Heaven.

I can just picture it.

They were aware of the challenges their relationship on Earth would bring, and were willing and eager to sacrifice.

As long as they were together.

I watched Ab on the tramp with Deak yesterday and smiled. She placed him in the center and began jumping around him so he could bounce. Deak laughed like it was the funniest thing that has ever happened in his entire life.

Abby doesn't pat his head, put up with his screaming requests for "more", or walk by him like she is in a china shop. He is her brother and she knows he's capable of more. More accurately, she demands more. I'm certain she promised him she would before they came here and became mine.

Deakon's eyes light up in ways that are different when Ab is around. She can do no wrong. Anytime she laughs, he laughs. Anytime she takes a drink at dinner, he takes a drink. In fact, during mealtimes together, he is often found with his hand on her arm. It's as if he can just soak her up into his spirit and feel happy.

Their sibling relationship may not be typical, but I'd dare say it's better.

They are my perfect match made in heaven.
