4 Years and Just Look At All The Changes

Our family has gone through a lot of changes in the past 4 years.  Some go by without notice.  Some are out there for anyone to see.  Recently, Sydney came home from college to discover that Lucas has finally won the battle they started 4 years ago in the Philippines....who is the tallest.  I'm not sure who was more surprised.  They stood in the kitchen, her looking up, him looking down.  I would have expected joking, ribbing and all out gloating.  What we got instead was arms linked and a willing photo of two siblings that have traveled a long road to be family.  Inches may separate them in height but the relationship that began in the Philippines can't be measured.
