I was six years old when Mom brought you home for the first time. Although I had one other brother and 2 other sisters to play with...you..well, you were different. I didn't quite know what it was. (Remember...I was only six!)

I was very amazed by you because first of all, you were so daggone small. I felt as though you had always been around...but you didn't show yourself...until Mom brought you home.

As you grew, I didn't let you get too far out out of my site. Gee...I was your big sister...I HAD to watch out for the baby. As "the baby" got bigger, she ended up being my chaperone on dates. LOL..."ya little informer!"

When you started school I walked you to and from...just to make sure you got there okay! On the way home, I would carry all your books. And when you were sick, I'd stay home to watch you so Mom could work.

When you started junior high and wanted to turn in a "really cool" project..."We'd" lol come up with some awesome poem about the mole on your back! You know it...

I was born with a built in friend
I think I'll call him mole
He lives on my back in a little brown sack
And travels where ever I go!

Ya got an "A+" on that one, dittin' cha? lol

Well..Petey...here it is sister...34 years later. And WHERE are WE at? Well...today

You're going to work with me everyday! hahah Business partners. How else would it have turned out?

Still swingin' on the front porch swing singin' the blues.

Flickin' high speed rubber bands equipped with a paper clip for added power!!

Callin each other everyday...like we haven't talked in years.

.....and the beat goes on and on and on.

I just want you to know...I wouldnt change one thing...no..not one! I love ya Petey..you'll always be my little bird. And I will awas love ya more than my luggage. And I will NEVER EVER forget the wonderful memories we have. My memory is "very long"!

 

 

P.S. The day Mom brought you home, I leaned over and whispered in your ear, "I waited for you".
