The JOY of a brother...

Here is my fixed cord,so I am back in business !!




Here he is with our mother recently and his youngest daughter, Melissa!!

You know on February 11, 1960 I didn't think much of the idea of having a brother!! He took my place of being the baby, for a little over 4 years. I had enjoyed that spot immensely and was a little tyrant. But as much as I wanted to not like this interloper, he was cute and clever and I couldn't help loving him and wanting to protect him... so alas he became the baby of the family (for 8 years) and the only boy and we all doted on him!! He was without a doubt our parents favorite!! Even today he is the favorite, but I don't mind because he is my favorite brother!! He is a man on whom you can rely, he's kind and a loving husband, father and grandfather. And really quite brilliant, this week alone he fixed my cord to my computer, bought me an ice cream cone, fed Hill and I dinner (actually his wife did) when we just dropped in for the day, and then asked us not to try out for American Idol after we sung him Happy Birthday on the speaker phone!! So for 52 years now he has been fixing things for us and has been our biggest cheerleader!! Happy Birthday Bro, You Rock!!
