It is so easy to forget that so many kids are thrust into a life that they didn&#8217;t ask for. A life where someone else&#8217;s needs will ALWAYS be put before theirs. That is so unbelievably tough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Superhero siblings have to learn that its never about favouritism, or unfairness but about love and acceptance. Can you imagine how difficult that is as a young child? I have made no secret of the fact that being a full time, life long carer is something that I occasionally have a real wobble about, so I can only imagine the massivness of that to a kid!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.awesomearchie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20221015_092454822.MP-Large-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.awesomearchie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20221015_092454822.MP-Large-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.awesomearchie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20221015_092454822.MP-Large-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.awesomearchie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20221015_092454822.MP-Large-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.awesomearchie.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/PXL_20221015_092454822.MP-Large.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Joshua , Herbie and Daisy ( Awesome Archie&#8217;s  siblings) have always been so understanding of Archie&#8217;s needs. I am not going to pretend that its always easy, its not, but they always try to include him and make him feel like a real member of our Awesome team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would also like to take a moment to mention the kindness of Joshua&#8217;s &#8220;teenage&#8221; friends. They come into our home ( Archie&#8217;s safe space) with respect for the necessary house rules and the kindness and acceptance of real superhero&#8217;s. There is no muttering or sniggering, no inside jokes, no loud music . Just the willingness of a bunch of 16 year olds to care for a mates disabled brother.  For us as parents, you have no idea how special that is for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, to any Superhero Sibling or Superhero sibling friend, WE THANKYOU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your sacrifices, your kindness and love makes a real difference to those kids who didn&#8217;t have the choice to be born the way they were.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YOU ARE ALL AWESOME!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thought I&#8217;d dedicate our latest blog post to the Awesome Superhero Siblings.
