Sorry to hear about your youngest's condition and am hoping and praying for a quick and speedy recovery and that the doctors at Children's will take the least invasive and most effective course of treatment. May God grant you strength and peace, as well Larry. Likewise for the rest of the boys' family. God's Courage to your injured Son. And may the Forgiveness of Christ, Our Lord, find your eldest's heart.
My younger brother and i are 13 months apart. YUP! Irish twins.
One of my dad's best lines was, "BOYS! I don't care who started it, STOP it right now ~before I FINISH IT!!" which was often followed by, "For Cripes Sake, you two hellians would fight about the time of day!!!!" Retired Marine Corps Seargent and small town cop. We didn't let him finish too many of our battles
.
Wish you the best with the disciplinary part of that dynamic. My bro and i fought into our late twenties. We would've killed for each other, so long as we didn't KILL each other, first
