Mom likes to think that he is her child, but he isn't...he is mine; it has been like that from day one, when I was just 3 and a half when he was born. There was never any jealousy of him, because he was my baby; well maybe that one time when I hit him with the rubber duck toy, and with my luck it is caught on tape; my one moment of imperfection forever to haunt me ;)
Looking back over the years of growing up I have so many happy memories with Brother. When I forced him as a student in my class and made him take tests, to driving to high school together everyday his freshman year and my senior year. ("Jesus was hiding again? I hate when He does that") Of course how could I ever forget all the random times he abuses me and doesn't even know it; it took him awhile to realize that he is bigger than me.
I can't believe he is 24 (one more glory year BB) I am so proud of the man he is! I am so proud of all he has accomplished. You are truly a blessing Brother, to so many people and I am so proud to call you MINE! Thank you for always making me laugh you are the funniest person I know, always making me feel better, and just being you!
I hope that you have wonderful day filled with happiness, although I know you are not at your full potential happiness because I am not there. And, you are welcome for me sharing my half birthday with you ;)
Love you more than you could ever know!! You are the BEST brother in the whole world!
Here are a few pictures that I think really capture the essence of Katz and Brother!
