Lil Brother
So many memories in my heart about you. Being the only girl in our family I wanted you to be a girl. But God had other plans for us. As the oldest and only female I immediately took to nurturing you. Riding you on back of bike in the summer months to play kickball, or to ride to Grandma’s or biking to city pool — the four of us had fun together. Of course we would ride home in time to get our chores done before supper. Being ten years older than you when I went to college I really did miss you. When I came home the first time you were sitting on front porch steps with your hands holding your cleft chin, looking sad you said “where have you been? I miss you today and I’m happy to have been your sister. Love you always unconditionally.
