A Thanksgiving visit

My brother came to visit us for Thanksgiving. Since his freshman year at Northern Arizona University, Zack has always traveled to spend the holiday with us. Part of the reason this began was the trek back home was a little too far for the short holiday weekend, and I’d like to think the other part was because he missed me.

The first few years were a little trying. My brother and I fought a lot growing up — nothing out of the ordinary, but just the normal sibling spats.

But over the course of time, our spats have stopped and we’ve started to enjoy each others company. This has a lot to do with growing up, and me not picking a fight every chance I could to spite my brother. As my dad would say, we’ve pulled our heads out for air and now we’re beginning our post-childhood relationship.

I really enjoy the relationship we have now. It took a long time to get here, but I’m thankful we finally did.
