"Do you think I can win the race today, even though I’m the smallest in my class?"
"Not only do I think you can win, I know you will. Strength isn’t just about size, you know," young brother replied, giving her an encouraging nudge.

She searched for young brother in the crowd, and found him giving her a thumbs-up.

She heard young brother's voice above the noise, strong and unwavering.

With a burst of energy, his little sister surged ahead, crossing the line with arms raised in victory.
Cheers erupted, and young brother rushed to scoop her up in a bear hug.
"I did it! I really did it!"
young brother wiped chocolate from his little sister's cheek, pride shining in his eyes.
"Whenever life gets hard, remember today. You’re stronger than any struggle. I’ll always be your biggest fan—and your bodyguard,"
"I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have you," she whispered, leaning against his side.
his little sister drifted to sleep with a smile, feeling safe and loved.
young brother watched over her, knowing that their bond would carry her through any challenge.
Outside, the stars shone brightly—a silent promise that, together, they could overcome anything.
