Yours Truly 2017 / Cascadia College / Bothell, WA 2017 YT Online Book | Page 33

My older brother is autistic. We have hugged twice in my life. The first time
was captured on film by my parents — the sweet smiles, our joy! I cherish this
memory and photo as I cherish my own breath. My brother is a part of my
soul. As it turns out, true soul mates need not touch or share many words. They
must only remember that they belong to each other. My brother still wears the
sweet smile, and the tube socks.
