I now have realised that I have been my brother’s mother more time than I ever was his sister. He asks me to make him food, to help him write names on the search lines, sits next to me and starts throwing at me ridiculous questions about the most random topics, comes running to wherever I am to tell me to sing movie songs with him, ask me where he left the story he’s been building with his toys, he only cries when he knows I am around. He calls me “mom” when he’s confused or tired.
Most of the time, I wish we were just brother and sister. I wish we could both be kids together.
