The Brother I Never Had

This is for Justin, the brother I never had but always wanted....

I'm not sure if you understand how important you are to me. I grew up a tomboy; with a sister. I always wanted a brother to play with, but never had one. There was no one to go fishing with, to play sports with, to just do the "boy things" with.

You came into my life the summer before I was in the fourth grade, and finally I had the brother I always wanted. I won't ever forget you. I won't ever forget roller blading at the Christian Church, riding bikes around town, walking to the bridge, swimming in the creek, and all of the other memories we have made throughout the years.

Justin you are the brother I never had but always wanted, and I am very proud of you and would be glad to call you my older brother any day.
