Brotherly Love

Before I explain the title, let me give you some background information...
Reid currently has a virus which causes canker sores to form in his mouth. He is in so much pain when he opens his mouth, he doesn't talk or eat. He does have some medicine that he takes but has such a hard time with it. The other night Reid was crying while we were trying to give him his medicine and Lliam was standing next to me...

Lliam: Reid's making me cry
Me: He's not making you cry. (thinking he was just wanting attention and copying his brother)
Lliam: He IS!

So I thought about this for a moment then asked, "Does it make you sad when you hear him crying?"

Lliam: With the saddest look on his face and starting to cry, "YES"

He sure does love his big brother and I'm sure misses him because all Reid does is lie around.
