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
