There is a positive for every negative

I truly believe that this situation with my son Josh is going to be the thing that brings me closer to my brother Tom.
Even though we live close we don't see that much of each other. But these last past 4 months I have needed him more than ever. Last Thursday I went up to his house to see if he would give me blessing. We chatted for a couple of hours, and then he asked me if we could pray before he gave me a blessing. Although I have become pretty good at prayers I was nervous that he wanted me to pray. I only thought that because of the conversation we had just had about how to pray. So I said" So you want me to pray?" He said no I will do it. I know he has told me that he admires me a couple of times, but to hear how he felt about me in his prayer brought me to tears. He really thinks I am a good person, and looks up to me his little sister. He then gave me the best blessing ever, again bringing me to tears.
I am so grateful for my Brother Tom, and for the example he and his wife Jenny are to me and my family. I am grateful that when I need him he is there for me. I was so excited the other morning when my phone rang, and it was him. He was calling to see how we were all doing.
So if that is the only positive thing that comes from this experience, I am happy!
