Happy Birthday...

... To me and my brother!! Did you know that me and my LITTLE brother share the same birthday? He was my first ever birthday present! One year apart, are we. He is everything I am not! He is responsible, SMART (like super smart), financially sound, educated (like really educated), bilingual, cool under pressure, patient (oh, so VERY patient), a movie lines rememberer/memorizer, and bald! He is one of my very, very best friends. I remember when my high school boyfriend dumped me (the first of MANY dumpings handed down to me), Brandon went with me to return the "promise ring." I was hysterical... like hysteria mania people. I couldn't talk. I wanted to DIE! He was calm, as usual. He might have told me to "shut-up" but I don't remember it. He took me to Shopko, walked me to the music box section and told me to pick out whatever I wanted. I chose a clown. He just wanted me to be happy. That's all he has ever wanted. He calls and talks to me about fights. He listens to me cry when I need to. He loves my kids. He tells me I am not a failure when I sure as heck feel like one. He is my buddy.

He was my first ever birthday present, and I have never forgotten it. He loves me. I love him. B- on our birthday tomorrow, know that Sis loves you and believes in you and is uber, uber proud of you. Happy Birthday tomorrow Bud!!
