HaPPaY Birthday Lil' Bro!

today is my baby brothers birthday.  he would have been 31 today.  

i find myself in the birthday card section of the store wondering what card i should buy him.  i cant help myself but to read all of the ones to a brother from his seester.  i finally find tha perfect card, it even comes with a 'I'm Bad to the Bone!' badge.  its absolutely perfect.  it made me LOL right in the aisle.

on tha inside it says: Absolutely Nothing!  Happy Birthday Dude!

i have to stop myself before i actually throw it in my cart.  i already have 4 other cards from his birthdays past.  and yet it still feels normal to buy my lil brother a birthday card, even though i know he will never read it. 

its crazy i know, but its almost therapeutic.  i quickly add it to my cart and head to the check out. 

i cant help but wonder where we would be celebrating his birthday if he was still here with us; vegas, tha abacos, rookies.

i still hear the sound of his voice, his contagious laff, and i yearn for his tight embrace.........

happy birthday baby brother.  i know you would love this card.

I have recently been inspired to reflect and write about my journey.

It includes moments spent with my insane, yet exceptionally loving, dysfunctional family, my freakin’ awesome friends, my many acquaintances, and even brief encounters with complete strangers.

Along the way, you will see that my journey is everything less than perfect.  Everything less than amazing.  But it is mine. And in my 35 years young I have embraced it with arms open wide.

I laugh and I cry, I forgive and I forget, I celebrate and I mourn and I take and I give. . .

I am human.


I invite you to experience life with me. . .
