In our family there is only one brother. Today he is celebrating his birthday. Rather than write a history lesson of brotherly love, I am going to write sentences or short paragraphs that bring back very fond (mostly) memories of this now grown man.
Coolest tree house in our neighborhood.
Dog that hunted, and hunted, and hunted, and wouldn’t shut up when we needed to sleep.
Green VW bug (along with many cars that I cannot describe).
Triumph; loud and proud.
Convertible.
Busch beer (nasty).
Sliding rock, over and over and over and over and over.
Little green tree frogs (wait, those come naturally in grocery bags….right)?
The Ghost Ship.
My first real pair of jeans (you know, the cool kind).
My brother is in the band playing at that club tonight (bonus points)!
How many guys did you threaten at the skating rink?
You left home before I did and I missed you so much my heart hurt.
You traveled, you played, you worked and you “did” life differently than me.
Guarding the tent.
My love went with you each step of the way. Our adult lives have proven that there are some things one cannot mess with…..our love is on that list. If anyone doubts that you can ask ………wait, maybe not (some things are better left in the past where they belong).
Cyndi, our sister, truly one of us. Cyndi, the love of your life and the one that makes you smile. I am grateful beyond time that God brought the two of you together, where you have discovered the love that you deserve.
I could go on for hours, Bobo. There is only one awesome brother in our world. Know that I love you…..now and forever.
