This is me and my brother Kevin.
Isn't he adorable?
That's him a year or two ago.
Isn't he adorable?
Anyone who is on Facebook with me has seen us pick on each other. ALOT.
With GREAT intensity.
But I can promise you, if someone else, other than a few select folks, tried to talk to me the way Kevin does when we're in tease mode?
Get some good health insurance.
Really good.
Wheelchair good.
When we were little, Kevin was my guardian, my protector and my buddy.
When we got older, he hit a rough patch. It hurt to watch.
But it's all good now.
When our first son was born, his middle name belonged to Daddy. But when #2 son came along, his middle name belonged to Uncle Kevin.
2 summers ago, I spent a week with my brother and his supermodel wife, who is the sun in his morning and the stars in his night. She is a dream. I love her to pieces.
Kevin and I planned on having a few Scrabble games. We played 16. And he's SO GOOD!!!!
How good is he? He won three whole games.
3.
Sucker.
He's the best brother I could ask for. He is funny and smarter than almost anyone I know.
He makes me laugh so hard I cry.
Kevin, I miss you more than words.
I love you.
*unless we'replaying Scrabble, then I will smite you into the ground and laugh while you're gasping for air and begging for mercy.
What a blessing it must be to have a big brother who's so awesome--even if he does win an occasional Scrabble game.
ReplyDeleteYes, he is a blessing!! I allow him to win, mostly for his ego. ;)
DeleteI always wanted an older brother. One like Kevin, that is!
ReplyDeleteHey Lori!! He is INSANELY funny, he makes me look all Mrs. Walton. When we're on the phone, all I do is laugh.
DeleteI love your relationship w/your bro. Thankful for these brothers who support us and make us laugh!
ReplyDeleteHe's an awesome support! He's told me over and over how proud he is of me. Awww.
DeleteAwww, what a beautiful tribute to your big brother! I've seen you two banter on facebook, and it always makes me smile. You're both hilarious! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe's a blast. We get each other going and poof, we're off!
DeleteWhen I met you, I wondered...and then when I was introduced to Kevin on FB and through email...
ReplyDeleteTHAT explains it!
Hahahaha!!! Ask him about the Ocean Queen. I dare you.
DeleteThis is such a fun post. You guys look like two peas in a pod! I always wished I'd had a brother. There seems something so special about that bond.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, yes, I do believe we are two peas in a pod. Only, he's the super tidy vegetable and I'm the 'who really cares' veggie. Oh, and he's bald. Yes, we are VERY close.
