When Titus was born, we weren't sure how his older brothers would react to all of his special needs. They had prayed for so long for a brother and for this baby. Over the last 7 months, it seems like many times we have to sit down to explain to them a new special need that had arisen. And yet, each time, they have faced it all with incredible faith and optimism. Aidan has stated numerous times "it doesn't matter, he's my brother and I love him.
As I reflected on Proverbs 17:17, I realize I had always focused on the first phrase - "A friend loves at all times", but never focused on the second part of the verse "and a brother is born for adversity". Webster's defines adversity as "a state, condition, or instance of serious or continued difficulty". Titus is never a burden, but his condition is serious, and he faces a life of continued difficulty - but Titus has 4 brothers born to him that love him regardless. When I saw these pictures, the love of a brother shines through.
