brothers

For stars, they look different, my aunt Veronica is small , her hair is black and curly ,
his eyes are brown and she is brunet , my uncle Javier is tall , his hair is black and
straight , his eyes are light brown and he is lighter from skin ,so my big aunt looks
like my grandfather and my uncle looks like my grandmother

Something else is that they are very united, but they also have different
personalities, for example my uncle Javier is serius and unfriendly , he is a lawyer ,
my aunt Veronica is cheerful and very intelligent , she is a doctor . However they
help each other and always get together a lot .

Finally they are united and they love each other a lot despite their differences they
will never stop being brothers
