Siblings can often drive us mad: From finishing off our favorite drinks, to “borrowing” an item of clothing that mysteriously never reappears. However, brothers and sisters can also be the greatest gift we can have in life. And recently this was just the case for one five-year-old birthday boy.
A video shared by soulseedsforall showed what happened when a little boy looked up on the roof of his house during his fifth birthday party.
Much to the delight of the overwhelmed youngster, his three older brothers were standing on the roof of the house dressed as some pretty impressive superheroes: Captain America, Batman, and Spiderman. And to top it off, they all pulled off the obligatory poses for the three action heroes in question.
However, to make it even more incredible, the birthday boy was really living the dream and had no idea that they were his brothers.
An inspiration to all
The short video garnered so many positive responses, and as one Instagram user pointed out:
“Can you imagine growing up in a family like this?! Supportive, caring, kind, understanding, loving inspirational! Man, we all need families like this and if we didn’t grow up with them, we deserve to choose them now as older adults. May we all have this sort of support and inspiration!”
Others shared how the little boy would never forget this big day, and some stated just how wonderful it is to have older brothers.
Of course our own big brothers can be superheroes in many other ways (preferably ones which don’t involve climbing on rooftops!). Whether they help with homework, or offer a friendly ear when needed, there’s nothing quite like the love and protection of an older sibling (and younger one too to be really fair!).
And today we celebrate...
