BROTHERS MAKE THE BEST FRIENDS...

Four brothers. Four friends. Maybe they didn't get the chance to see each other as often as they would have liked over the years...life tends to get in the way sometimes. Maybe the amount of time spent together was limited to a weekly card game, a phone call just to say hello, or a family get-together every now and then. But I would argue that these four handsome gents remained close throughout their lives. The expressions on their faces in this photo are proof-positive of the real affection that they shared for one another.

    What a wonderful photo to have of your Dad with his brothers. My Dad had three sisters, but they remained close all their lives to the point where all the cousins have remained close as well as their offspring even though many of us are miles apart geographically. Luckily, email, Facebook, & etc., are perfect ways for us all to stay together otherwise.

      Thanks, Gail! I wish they had been around for Facebook, etc, though I doubt that any of them would ever have used it. LOL
