A letter to my Brother "604".

I can’t say it….


I can’t believe that time has flown so fast….
I can’t believe that my little brother has finally made it to First Class…
I can’t believe that tomorrow morning we have to say "good....".
I can’t believe God has blessed me with you and I will not ask him WHY?

I do know that no matter where you are you will be everywhere I go…
I do know that no matter how far you travel you will always have a spot on my show…
I do know that whatever you do and wherever you do it you will be a success…
I do know you will accomplish as much as you can and the creator will handle the rest...

I must confess there were many times that you did not make me smile….
I must confess that those moments were far and few and passed after awhile…
I must confess that I was a little nervous about our interaction from the start...
I must confess I was being foolish because when you board that plane tomorrow I’ll be holding my heart.

I am aware that you watch me carefully and study the moves that I make….
I am aware that you turn to me when deciding which steps to take….
I am aware that I have driven you crazy with my madness and concern…
I am aware that I am the pre-requisite and that you still have many lessons to learn…

I need you to be strong and bold and most importantly true….
I need you to remember that we are all praying for you
I need you to keep your face with a smile and your heart with a song
I need you to believe that I will be there to visit before long.

I can’t even mention your name without a display of tremendous pride….
I can’t even pretend to not miss you already so I won’t divert or hide….
I can’t even type three words without having to wipe my eye….
I can’t even begin to utter the simple words “Good……”.


I Love you man!

-Your Brother, Your Friend…….Your Host.

Fox Boogie,

You got off, man. Seriously. I got chills.
But like Ladynay said, it's not a goodbye. It's "Peace".

That's the best wish you can give someone for their life. "peace".

I bid you peace, brother. And your Brother.

First to "604" - Have a safe, enjoyable trip. Have a great time in your new city!

Foxy - what a wonderful poem! Try to think of all the fun trips ahead and how much fun it'll be! Doesn't help the missing now, but it'll get better!

Have a foxy weekend, nonetheless!

Now I am all tearing up again fighting a crying fit. I
am taking this all better than expected but that first time I want to
go to me and 6's favorite resturant and I can't call him to ask him to meet me there I know there will be no way to stop the tears.

I love the way you let the emotions out. Hang in there we will be hopping on that plane to visit soon enough.

Take Care,
Kitten
