Friendship, Fellowship, & Brotherhood, the building blocks that transform a stranger to a member of the family. The bonds built stronger than a holiday card or obligatory meal. These become the strings to your heart that are proven time and time again. The late night of drinking to process the loss of another love, the silent consideration of pain that words do not define. These are the people who see the need and fill it, without you asking, these are the people who roof your mother’s house because you’re in jail. These brothers do not forget you, do not forsake you. The difference between friendship and brotherhood is the sacrifice, the need which your love binds. For my friends, I would dare much for my brothers, I would dare anything.

I was born an only child. | JWH
