I am Joe's wife and a mother to three children: Aislin, Johnny, and James.Brothers Make The Best Friends was written out of my desire to document the relationship between a brother and a sister. My brother, John and I were each other's first friends. When John took his life in 2014 my heart was broken and my oldest friend was gone. In the weeks following his passing, I watched my son and daughter playing together and I longed to capture that special bond. Using my childhood experiences, the experiences of my niece and nephew, and my son and daughter, I was able to paint a picture of the true blessing that a brother is, and ultimately what a blessing siblings are.
