Almost Gone

     My brother. He means a lot to me. For my entire life he has been there for me. From whenever he would play outside with me, to whenever he drives me to school in the morning. I have always wanted to be like him. I remember one time we were at a play house in McDonald's when we were little with our cousin and these kids kept saying mean things to him...so I told them to shut up and leave us alone...haha! :)
My point is, we've always been together, had each other's backs. I would do anything for him. And it's sad to think our time as big brother & little sister growing up together is almost gone. He is a Junior in high school. Almost gone...about ready to leave. But I'm not ready to see him go. Once he leaves, who is gonna go look at the Christmas Presents first on Christmas morning? That's HIS job. I can't do that! Somebody has to see them before I do! And who is gonna do it? He taught me how to play video games, and sometimes would let me win...

     The job of a big brother is huge. And most the time they don't even know how important they are to the family. Marc Brown once said: Sometimes being a brother is even better than being a superhero. And I know that I would rather have my brother to look up to and rely on than some weirdo is tights! :)

    I'm making this to say to my brother: I love you, I need you. Don't grow up and leave too fast. You hold the starring role in a lot of my favorite childhood memories. And even if we both grow up, you'll always be my big brother. I love you bub!! ;)

It was nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on...someone to tell on!  -Author Unknown

Saturday Morning - Poem

Hey guys! It's a long three day weekend. And I love the weather today. Cloudy and cool...fall is in the air. Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons so you can only imagine how I feel right now! I got a Maple Pumpkin air freshener for my bedroom and I'm WAY too excited about it! I can't wait to switch to the other scent which smells like berries, but not the kind of berries that make you feel like you need an oxygen tube to breathe. The kind that should be baked in your grandmother's Thanksgiving pie. So, since this is such a nice occasion for me I thought I'd enlighten you with a poem. (:

Reminds Me Of You

It's coming again,

it's about that time.

You leave me with no ends,

to tie back together.

I pick up the pieces,

but they're gone with the fall.

You left me by winter,

you didn't care at all.

The wind reminds me,

I let you to go.

It whispers unspoken words,

He's buried in the snow.

The crunch of the leaves,

the heartbreak I keep.

You're face in the trees,

I see it all now.

You lied like the wind,

every day a new front.

It's hard to forget,

you left me so hurt.

So I'll fly with the wind,

forgetting your name.

I don't need to pretend,

you didn't know it was a game.

Hope y'all like it!! Have a great September!! (:
