YOU are my Brother. The only brother I have. If I could have picked you from a tree of brothers, I would have picked you. You have given me many "firsts" and we have agreed, disagreed, and agreed to disagree. BUT, you were always there for me. I could write a book but not now. There are no goodbyes. I love you always.
