my brother shamoun has always been my rock. even though i’m the eldest and he’s the youngest, he has a calming effect on me. whatever my worries or struggles, whether i made a terrible mistake or someone else hurt me, a quick call to my brother and my mind is at peace. he never judges. nothing fazes him. he has a spectacular sense of humor (ROFL is very real in his presence). so making him laugh gives me a major kick. he’s a cool AND brilliant dad. my parents dote on him. so do my kids. my husband loves him as much as his own brothers. it’s no surprise. i often tell my brother, i believe in him more than i believe in myself. i believe in his profound goodness. he’s my rock.
