There’s nothing quite like the bond of siblings!
When this mom caught a video of her young son singing to his baby brother, she had no idea how many people it would touch

“I didn’t want our boys to be ashamed of him,” Nicole told al local news station, she went on to say: “He’s still their little brother regardless of what he has.”
Big brother, Rayce, loved to sing to Tripp when he was a newborn, which led to the viral Facebook post
Back in December of 2019, Nicole Powell, posted a video of her young son, Rayce, cradling and singing to his new baby brother, Tripp, that millions of people were moved by. She captioned the video:
“This is how Rayce bonds with Tripp. He sings to him all the time. He swear this song is about him and his brother. He’s singing, “I’d spend 10,000 hours, and 10,000 more if that’s what it takes to learn that sweet heart of yours. I might never get there but I’m going to try if it’s 10,000 hours or the rest of my life, I’m going to love you.” Love doesn’t count chromosomes, or as Rayce says, “Aren’t we all different?””
In the video, Rayce cuddles his baby brother while singing “10,000 hours” by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber
It’s clear that Rayce loves his little brother to pieces, and the way Tripp stares back at his big brother with admiration proves that the feeling is mutual.
