Trip down memory lane…

Today’s my big brother’s 35th birthday.  If you have a sibling you know how special the bond is.  No matter how old you get, no matter how different you may be…at the end of the day this is the person who has shared life from your perspective.  You were once little together looking up at your parents and the world around you and wondering what life would be like when you’re all grownz up.

As Clara Ortega put it “To the outside world we all grow old.  But not to brothers and sisters.  We know each other as we always were.  We know each other’s hearts.  We share private family jokes.  We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys.  We live outside the touch of time.”


So, to honor my big bro, Chris, here are 35 random memories that he may or may not remember.  All full of love and thankfulness that I was born as his sister and got to spend the formative years of my life with him by my side, looking out for me and driving me crazy at the same time.  Oh the beauty of family!!!  Read the rest of this entry »
