DAY 4 ~ LETTER TO MY SIBLING

Dear Donald,
Have I ever told you how proud of you I am, well if I haven't I want you to know I am....your my little big brother..that's what I tell everyone about you, well you are I am 5'5" and you 6'7" and even though I am 10 years older than you...OH who's counting!!!! LOL
I know we have 2 other brothers but all my life I have felt closest to you, I remember the day you where born (I wanted a sister, but I fell in love with you so fast it didn't matter at all) The day you came home from the hospital I ran all the way home from school and I couldn't find you, they had put your bassinet in my room, I have felt like your mom all my life, you never moved outta there you know??? But we had fun didn't we and when I got married you cryed, you where only 8 and I remember you wanting to go with me and me trying to tell you I am so sorry you can't! Then when I was pregnant with kayle how all along you told me I would have him on your birthday and I would try and explain its not possible because it would be too soon (7 weeks too soon) but you never gave up and I'll be darn if I didn't have him that day, Sept. 3rd....when I went into labor I thought it was some kinda wierd joke.... you where glowing telling me and anyone who would listen that you where right.., even though he was sick you where so proud you had picked and where right about the day he would be born...its funny looking back especially since he has been healthy as a horse ever since I brought him home from the hospital and probably why you share a special bond with him as well as the same birthday....
You have grown into the most special person, you have protected me like no other and I thank you for that. Because of you, after years of hiding what was going on in my life since you lived so far away about the abuse in my marriage, you helped me get out alive he was so afraid of you and I am sure he still is... rightly so, you are kinda a giant!!! and it doesn't hurt your in the special forces in the army...Which is ONE of the reasons I am so proud of you, you have been over seas more times than I would ever want anyone to go but I know you love this country and your family and you have always told me that if anything ever happens to you over there that I was not suppose to be mad because you were doing what you love...that's a tough one on a sister who loves you so much.. Well its almost been 20 years in the army so hopefully soon you will be retiring from the army and moving closer to home, just think of all the fun we can have like we do when you come home on leave..we have done some crazy things..not getting into too much trouble, LOL but fun...we do know how to have fun, even though everyone in the family gets mad at us and Chris because we want to spend time together I mean so what if we drink a little (alot) hahaha its fun and oh the memories........ I can't wait till you live close and I don't have to worry about you going back to Iraq or Afghanastan, I hate those places and this war..but support all our troops so much!! Remember this day when I wanted to try on your Flac jacket... Man that sucker is heavy!!!

Well like I said its time to come back to the real world and just have fun!!! I love you so much and miss you everyday, I can't wait to give you a great big ole hug and know your home for good, hey there is a place on my road for rent we could be neighbors..heck my house is big enough just move on in and it will be like old times just not the sharing the same bedroom thing..LOL..
Love ya BRO,
your sister Pami!!!
