My son is 13; his sister is 3. He is the man in her life and he adores her. They are a perfect "10."

So heartwarming to hear this.

As I wrote it, they were "wresting" on the couch. Translation: three year old climbs behind her brother, sneaking up on him like a ninja that giggles incessantly, and wraps her arms around his shoulders in a big hug. He reaches behind his back, flips her into his lap and and giggles turn into full out laughter as he says, "Are you sneaking up on me? Are you?" and flips her back over his back, where she messes up his hair. It's the best.

My sister and I are also a decade apart in years...yet very close friends.
