A Musselburgh hat for my brother

I finally got to have lunch with my brother a week ago, so I gave him this Mussellburgh hat (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/musselburgh). It is green, black, rust, and gold. He wears a hat every day because the warehouse works in is cold in the winter. He love the four-layer ear cover for that reason. Actually, he should retire but he likes working. How crazy is that? I have need retired since 2016.

Brian and I are only 11 months apart and have been close forever. When I was 19, I went to a psychic. She told me that he and I were tied throughout time and have been reincarnated together many times. The time before this was during the Bore Wars of 1899 and 1900. We were related there as well, but not necessary brother and sister. It might have been parent and child, husband and wife, or even grandparent and grandchild. Apparently, we were tortured and killed in that war, and we were sent to this life together to 'heal.' Now I don't know how true all this is, but I always loved the story. And I have to admit that Brian and I have had relatively easy lives. We grew up on a farm in South Dakota with good parents. We had two older brothers but it was us who were close. My mom said that we even had a language of our own when we were young. We never fought and always had each other's back. In some ways, we even married people who are similar to each other. Brian went into the service and I moved to Colorado as young adults. Mom was disappointed because she wanted Brian to move back to South Dakota, but instead, he moved to Colorado to be close to me. He even lived with for a year before finding his own place.

We are both now in our 70's and we are all that is left of our immediate family, with both our parents and our two old brothers gone. We still have our spouses, and we both had two sons who are about the same ages, and are good friends. Maybe that physic knew something after all.
