Most of us have one or even many siblings, but all we do is fighting with each other all the time. However, the two kids in this story are simply not the same. The wonderful bond they share is something that can touch the hearts of even the coldest people in this world.
Anthony, 13-year-old, has been struggling with depression for years. According to his mother Christina Angel, the little boy's life was everything but easy. However, when his baby sister Belle showed up, it had changed a bit.
Anabel, or Belle, has always been an endless source of joy to Anthony. Even though they have 5 other siblings in the family, they are still the closest ones to one another. Belle brightens up Anthony's world, and Anthony deeply cares about Belle like no other.
"She is a carefree, effervescent, bouncing ball of sunshine. She has a fairy-like quality about her, and makes friends wherever she goes. However, her best friend is Anthony. They have an unshakable sibling bond that stems from the light that she brings to him when he finds himself in dark places," Christina shared with Bored Panda.
"He watches Movies with her, he takes her skateboarding, and at night he tucks her into bed. They have a little ritual to ward off her bad dreams at bedtime, where he pretends to sprinkle “magic salt” on her head to protect her from nightmares," she continued.
"I could hardly finish the photos through the tears of pride and happiness," she said. "When they were done, they were perfect to me. I am so proud of my son, his warm heart, and the spot in it that is reserved for his little sister. He amazes me and I am so proud of him."
