FEBRUARY 14th
<p>Some dates carry more than numbers.</p><p>They arrive each year with memories tucked into their corners,</p><p>with laughter you can almost hear before the day even begins,</p><p>with names that feel heavier than celebrations.</p><p><br/></p><p>Today has always been one of those dates for me.</p><p>People often assume the day is reserved for roses,</p><p>for couples and candle-lit dinners,</p><p>for whispered confessions and matching outfits.</p><p>And maybe someday, I will celebrate it that way too.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe there will be a year where I dress up for someone,</p><p>where a hand finds mine across a table</p><p>and the world feels intentionally romantic.</p><p>But long before any of that ever happens,</p><p>this day already belonged to someone else.</p><p><br/></p><p>This date is also the birthday of my older brother,</p><p>my only brother:</p><p>the person who has walked with me through seasons</p><p>that never make it into photographs.</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000472457.jpg"/></p><p>We haven’t always had perfect days.</p><p>We’ve had loud disagreements, stubborn pride,</p><p>and moments where silence tried to last longer than it should.</p><p>But we have also shared sacrifices that never needed applause.</p><p><br/></p><p>Times we showed up for each other not because it was easy,</p><p>but because it was necessary.</p><p>Little things given up quietly</p><p>so the other could move forward a little lighter.</p><p><br/></p><p>Growing up with you meant watching strength form in real time.</p><p>It meant seeing you fall, learn, rise, and keep going anyway.</p><p>And somewhere along the way,</p><p>I realized I wasn’t just growing older,</p><p>I was growing proud.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe someday I will celebrate this day with a lover.</p><p>Life is long, and the heart still has chapters to write.</p><p>But even when that day comes,</p><p>this date will never pass without me celebrating you first.</p><p>Your birthday is one reminder I will never ignore,</p><p>never postpone,</p><p>never trade.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because love is not only the person who holds your hand in public.</p><p>Sometimes it is the person who quietly held space for your future</p><p>even when their own hands were full.</p><p>The one who stood in the background</p><p>and still made the road ahead feel safer.</p><p><br/></p><p>Long before I learned what romantic love might look like,</p><p>I learned loyalty from growing up beside someone</p><p>who could argue with me in the morning</p><p>and defend me by afternoon.</p><p>I learned patience from waiting my turn to speak,</p><p>and courage from watching someone stand tall</p><p>when it would have been easier to stay silent.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/1000471625.jpg"/></p><p>So while the world exchanges hearts and flowers today,</p><p>I celebrate history.</p><p>I celebrate growth.</p><p>I celebrate the privilege of having a brother</p><p>who turned ordinary years into shared victories.</p><p><br/></p><p>And more than anything,</p><p>I celebrate how far you’ve come,</p><p>because watching your journey</p><p>has been one of the quiet honors of my life.</p><p>Happy Birthday, big bro.</p><p>I love youuuuuuu. ❤️</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
