When I Grow Up It will be okay. I will be six foot and five inches. I will be bigger than him. I will be as big as grandpa. I will take him to the shed. Instead of you. I will make him shake. Instead of you. I will make sure you, never shake again. When I grow up, I will be your hero. I am too little yet. I am small… for a brother. Hardly noticed. But, I will remember. I will.

Brotherly love ? interesting words, if a bit vengeful, or do I miss the point ?

It is one point of many... or at least a few. Kind of like a sea urchant(not sure how to spell this one... lol). Spines like needles in all kinds of directions. Ty for your comments... truly. Ann

Good morning wild flower, freedom dove... tea and cakes... ready... Sit down at the table, under the tree, Max will bring things out. We can write and laugh and make up stories. We can even were funny hats and vintages dresses. "Friends". You always cheer me so. Ann
