I wasn't around yet, but I know you brought lots of love to mom and dad.
Two years later, the day after your birthday...
I showed up! Ha...bet'cha didn't expect that, huh?
Not long after, I was at Grandma's so they tell me.
I wish I could have been around when you were
in the hospital. Ya, know? To kinda just
make you smile and make the pain go away.
I'm sorry you lived a lil' different from the other kids.
You couldn't go to the bathroom like me...
I don't know what that's like, and now
I'm sure you don't remember since it was so long ago.
I chuckle when Sistah tells me stories of your little
poops getting out of that cloth diaper around your waste.
Oh, wait...TMI, right? Sorry.
I hope you're smiling at me right now...
I'm happy to have had you as my brother.
My "almost twin brother"
Who in the world would have thought mommy and daddy could do that?
Wait, well, God did it.
Thank you for sharing your birthday parties with me.
Remember that skate party we had?
I remember pushing you and running real fast!
Thanks for not hitting me back.
A real brother you were to me.
I'm sorry for locking you in the closet when mommy left us home.
I'm sorry for locking you outside in your undies...
How did I do it? Why were you half naked? that's funny!
Anyway...I remember our all night talks.
After we'd argue about you singing so loud and playing Brandy aaaaallllllll day and night!
You made me really like Brandy and Beyonce. A true fan you were.
I kinda wonder how you'd feel about them now...
I remember the day you left.
I was hurt, but didn't really show it because I wanted to be strong for mom and for Sistah. That was hard... they were always strong for me. That was a really hard night for all of us. The hardest day of my life!!!!
I wish you could see the baby kids now... None of the cousins
would have to worry about a sitter...you would totally keep them!
I tell you what... I'll kiss all of them for you.
There's Tia, JB, Kenadee, Leah, Chris and Morgan!
Momma is on me about when I'm having kids...but ah'ruh I just tell her
to keep holding on, they're coming.
Ok...I really miss you if you can tell.
I'll talk to you later, okay.
And just like I used to do... kiss you right on the head and run...
I can't do it now, but I'll kiss at the air... just catch it and hold it.
Toodles...

That was very touching. I'm sure your brother is very proud of you. Looking at the pictures he knew that you would be a successful diva.
