I noticed a couple of young guys at the intersection just now.

[Swede]

As I waited for the green light and they waited for their walk signal. They were 16-17 years old and definitely brothers. The shorter one begin to comb the older ones hair and make sure his jacket was buttoned up. They got their walk signal and the shorter one held his hand out by his side and they older boy took it. As they passed,the taller boy had the happy smile of a young child.
It was a sad and sweet moment,one I was glad to witness.

4. Yep, reading that put a smile on my face too

For the most part we are all good people its just we have a few stinkers amongst us and boy do they stink to high heaven.

5. Oh, Swede, thanks for sharing this...these "little" moments mean so much as we

rush through another day of "mundane" activities...I'm so glad you witnessed it, too!
You know...what you saw was "true love". Pure, un-staged, no-horseshit LOVE.
Thanks again for posting this!

7. What's the sad bit you refer to? .nt

[Jackpine Radical]

10. The presumed disability of the older one?

11. I think Swede meant "sad" that this is so rare.

Sometimes you have to let the cynicism go, JR.

[apples and oranges]

8. That sounds more like a couple in love than brothers

Based on the age you estimated them to be.

[JuniperLea]

18. Oh good GAWD...

Not everything is about sex!

They were "clearly" brothers... "childlike"... you had a lot of clues there, but you chose the sex... oh, brother.

9. My 15-year old daughter walks her almost 17-year old big brother home

from school every day. Sometimes they hold hands, especially when crossing the street. People driving by comment that at first glance they thought it was a boyfriend/girlfriend thing. Then my son will usually start skipping and giggling and they figure it out.

[K8-EEE]

12. Like my daughter helping her disabled little sister

Not "sad" -- beautiful!

[Winterblues]

13. 17 years old and need to be walked across the street by the hand???

Things have changed some since I was that age I guess.

[RagAss]

14. That is the face of eternal love. Thank you for sharing this.

[JuniperLea]

15. He ain't heavy, Father, he's my brother!

[SDuderstadt]

16. Great sentiment....

JL!

BTW, how are you doing?

[JuniperLea]

17. Hiya SDude...

I'm frustrated as hell:) I can't stand all the hypothetical arguments. I can't wait to get past this damn HCR bill!

How are you?

:hi:

[SDuderstadt]

19. Waiting on pins and needles waiting for the HCR bill to pass...

we have WAY too many people who need help in this country. I'm in favor of less talking and more doing.

Jesus, I despise the GOP.

[JuniperLea]

20. You said it!

I believe this will go pretty much as everything else has gone... Obama will get enough of what he wants to make things workable... it will take time but will start to work... the signs of it working will grow stronger and more obvious... and the whining of the GOP and GOP "Lite" will increase.

The older I grow, the less patience I seem to have:)
