Growing Up with Siblings is A Gift

Through my siblings, I learned early on that people have different thought processes, different ways of learning, and different ways of just being. I think having grown up with siblings has created a bond that I share with very few people. No matter the distance, no matter the amount of time that has passed, we share something that can never be taken away. Along with sharing the struggles of adolescence, we also share our successes and milestones.

This is Luiza and Anthony. Luiza is known to me as No. 4, my little sister. Anthony will soon be No. 4 + 1. He’s been coming around the house and, despite our family quirks, has stuck it out and chosen to be a part of this family. Looking back, seeing both of them grow together has been an exhibition of what soul mates look like. I am a proud older brother (No. 2) and am grateful to have been able to capture this moment in time.
