John and Liz
When John's parents told him he would be a big brother he imagined all of the things he would do with his little brother; teach him how to ride a bike, play hockey and protect himself from bullies and at their grandfather's cabin he would teach him to fish and camp under the stars. All the secrets of life.
Oh well, turned out he would have to do all of that with a sister, which was better than he could have imagined. He would never admit that to her, actually he didn't have to. Although the few years they shared together as children went by fast, Liz knew the solid place she had in her big brother heart and life.
When John was thirteen playing hockey, Liz was one learning to walk and talk. When he was sixteen learning to drive, she was four learning her abc's. But they had their moments too he would fly her around like an airplane, he taught her how to ride a bike, bait a hook, spot poison ivy, and even how to play hockey and defend herself on and off the ice.
Her brother was her hero long before he became one to his country. While he was learning to fly in the Air Force, she was learning division. And, when she was in biology thinking about becoming a nurse and he was flying over Grenada their father had a heart attack. Their lives although very different were always solidly linked. Jack came home and helped his mother get everything in order before he had to re-join his unit. And, made sure his little sister knew that everything would be okay.
Every leave he checked in to make sure the house was in order, Liz was doing well in school and to see if his Mom needed anything. In some ways his mother was never the same again. It was to be expected, their Dad was the love of her life.
John corresponded with Liz as often as he could. She wrote to him every week without fail until she graduated high school and then nearly every week since then. Only now it was email.
When the world became a darker place, John always had Liz to help him see the light and Liz always had Johnny to make sure everything would be alright. But, sometimes little sister's knew how to make things right too.
