Brothers... you may love to hate them and hate to love them, but these quotes about brothers for National Sibling Day will remind you why exactly you do actually love them. Sometimes brothers feel like they're from another planet despite the fact that they have the same blood running through their veins as you do. However, no matter how weird, mean, gross, immature, and annoying they can be, brothers still are a major blessing.
I'm not trying to say that every siblings relationship is perfect (in fact, far from it), but I am trying to say that every siblings relationship carries something special: love that runs deep.
