A tribute to my baby brother...

I remember the day you were born like it was yesterday. Mom and dad had tried for so long for you almost six years.  Dad had told mom if it is a boy she wouldn't have to get up at night to change diapers, he had it…. Well we know that didn't happen did it?  I remember helping mom make your bottles 4oz of carnation milk and 4oz of water.  I remember taking you for walks with that stupid harness mom made me put you in so you wouldn't get away from me as we walked.  You were all over the place and yes I admit to yanking on it a few times when you wouldn't listen and you falling on your behind but that didn't stop you.

As we grew up together, Friday was my night to go out because I was your babysitter on Saturday so mom and dad could visit someone's house and play cards. We fought like brothers and sisters do, I remember getting dads wool socks with the red heals and twisting one down in the toe of the other and commencing to chasing you around the house with it when you wouldn't listen but at least I was fair you had a set too.  I'm sorry for pinning you to the floor that day and tickling you with my hair until you pee'd your pants but that didn't last long cause you grew bigger than me pretty quick and I took as much as I gave.

I remember all the times dad would come into the house and say that boy I swear shaking his head because he went to use a skidoo or a bike and had to fix something on it before he could use it because you had torn it up but put it away and snuck out of the shed like nothing happened.

Remember the day you were ridding the skidoo all morning and it was my turn but you made circles around me in the snow until I got a hold of the back of your neck and yanked you off. Finally my turn, I jumped on the skidoo down on the arm flat out but only made it about 50 feet before the track let go and ran out underneath her,  I had to walk back to the house with you busting a gut laughing cause you had been running over a picket fence all morning and this was something else for dad to fix.

As we got older and I went away to college it was the phone calls from mom that I'd get because you were brought home by the cops or got another speeding ticket etc etc. You lived life to the fullest and were all boy.

I loved to hear the stories about you and Ding and how you would tell him not to open the new cheese wiz bottle because you were on your way, but he did it anyway.

So many mornings the bottle of cheese wiz and an empty plate was laying on the heater in your room from the late night snack you grabbed from the kitchen, mom would pick it up because she loved you beyond measure and would do anything for you.

That didn't change in your adult life either, how you loved to rub it in when you got those care packages from home or got to go home and she cooked all your favorite meals you name it and of course I'd get a picture with the caption sorry you missed it.

Oh how we joked that you were the chosen one, you loved it when I said that with a big laugh. There will be no more sending mom's texts back and forth for each other to read and translate, I'm really going to miss that so much.

Your oldest busted us out to mom last summer when she was home by the way but that didn't stop us, we still did it.

Thank-you for my three beautiful nieces, I love them beyond measure and will forever look out for them I promise.

Losing you is so raw right now you had so much left to do on this earth, but God had other plans. They say the good ones die first and my brother you were one of those.  You were a pain in my behind as a little brother…. the best hider that I could never find when we had to go to Sunday school or bring in wood but you turned into a good man and a good father.  Those girls love you and will never forget you.  As long as there is breath in my lungs, I will tell them your stories.

Go now little brother meet all those that have gone before you, pick Ding up at the pearly gates and hit those gold streets on two wheels.

I love you,

Sis
