Today is my baby brother, Franklin’s, birthday. He’s not on Facebook so he won’t drive the 8 hours to come punch me in the arm for calling him my baby brother in public. He has always been that silly, funny, walking in my dad’s boots when they were bigger than he was, crazy, cute addition to a family of 4 girls. He had it bad, folks. He was subjected to some solid estrogen back in the day. But luckily, he was a little shadow to my Dad and went with him wherever he could tag along. He is the strength of our family, and I miss having him around in my day-to-day life. So here’s to the brothers everywhere that we love so dearly. May your path be filled with down-hill slopes, your heart filled with hope, your pockets over-spilling with wealth, your mind put at peace and ease, your soul filled with comfort knowing you have always done your best, your path in life a magnificent journey that fulfills your dreams, your spirit full of passion and purpose, and your daily life filled with all the things you love the most – and MORE! You are a great man, a great role model, a gift to our family, and I just love you. Love and Light!
