My dear "bubby" (because I couldn't say "brother" when we were little),
We weren't quite a year apart in age and so we were close growing up. As adults, we lived very far apart but I will always cherish those long telephone conversations we had whenever you had the house to yourself. You let your true self shine through as we talked. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you but you are constantly in my prayers and thoughts. When I miss your voice, I have the family telephone recordings to listen to. Thanks for your visit the other day. Love you little bro. Say hi to mom and dad.
