It’s really rare and sweet for a boy that age to go to his sister when he’s needing a hug.

I hope my kids grow up like this.

As a sister, just watching that made me tear up. I love my brothers above anything else. We don't see each other much because we're all adults now - but whenever I see them and get a greeting hug, I'm filled with so much joy and gratitude. I adore them and I hope they'll keep hugging me forever!

My brother is my little man and I have traveled around the world just to see him because I miss him more than anything. It’s been like this since he moved out of my home. He’s in his 30s and I’m in my 40s and I love and miss him with all my heart.

I have 12 nieces and nephews and their families are all very close but… I’m still not sure my oldest nephew would run to his older sister when he was overwhelmed with emotion. More likely to his mom or dad.

Little brother here.... I'm sure your brother loves you.

My sister and I are 14 years apart (yep.... She was practically my mom). I still hug her whenever we are together.

It depends a lot on how the children are raised

It depends though. My brother and I hate each other on a biblical scale. Always did. Outside influences from school did this on his side. Sometimes parents cant do anything about this. It makes me happy when I see that it does not have to be this way though.

That's why I wrote "it depends a lot"

Sorry. Damn. Yes I repeated exactly what you said. I must have been tired.

For real. I have a daughter and a son 2.5 years younger. I want them to be this close so damn bad.
