I listen to the CDs you got me
Almost every day
It makes me remember sneaking into your tapes
Finding the ones you told me not to touch
And listening anyways…………

I have the ceramic kitten in the boot
You got for me in Germany
In my kitchen, where I can see it
And I remember, that was the first gift you ever gave me
Mom and dad didn't make you…………….you did it just because

I was such a brat of a sister
I didn't realize what a great friend I had in you
Until you were half way around the world
Then I wished only………….to turn back time
Take it back…………start over………….do it different

I listen to the CDs you got me
Almost everyday
I  still can't believe you got them for me
I listen to the CDs you got me…………………
And I miss you Big Brother.

everything ha..now we are very close although so far away..i miss her.

Very nice sentiment here. And it does often take us too long to realize the importance of siblings. I feel sad for those who never attain what you have.

Nice job.

i have a big brother too...we realize as we get older how important people are in our lives...when theyre not around we find a void has opened up..my brother was always good to me..used to load me up in the chevy right along with all his girlfriends and take me with them..lol

this is a very special piece youve penned for your brother..i'm sure he misses you too...

Victoria~ yes, my brother and I fought terribly most of the time........now that I'm older, I can appreciate his humor and wit........unfortunately he is in Korea.  

ATelamon~ thank you.......I just wish  we could have been closer growing up........it would have been so much more fun  

PixieChild~ funny how the distance opens our eyes and our hearts.........glad you could relate  

Kathleen~ I'm so happy to hear from you! I'm glad you're hangin out still........I hope you take the time you need to heal.....but please stay close enough to say hello....thanks for reading......Hugs right back to you!!  

DG~ that sounds like fun..........I wish I could have had that with my brother.......

Charisma~ you are most welcome sweet lady......glad you liked!  

Sunshine~ he teased ALL the time LOL that's the problem.......I didn't recognise it as play........I do now though........( and yes, I was a brat........truly )  

Janet~   The Groovy tunes were, of course, Prince..........the 3 CD collection of the hits/ B-sides.......he knows I love his music and brought it from Korea this past July. I usually have one of the 3 playing while I'm on the computer, or doing my chores.......

yes, I e-mailed it to him last night......

Yes, isn't it funny how you don't notice until you're older what great friends you have in your siblings?  Very beautiful and touching write, SEA!

SEA-

Oh how I can relate to this. First
I must say this was just so beautiful
and sincere. I am sure he feels the
same way towards you. I have 2 younger
sisters who are 2 and 5 years apart
from me. Being the eldest...I feel I
sorta grew up alone...and when I did
interact with them, we fought like
cats and dogs LOL. But now they are my
two best friends in the world. Amazing
how things change huh? Lovely write!
Take care

Best wishes,

SEA

the most simple gifts at times are the ones we appreciate the most,
especially when they remind us of the ones that we love most dear.

such a gentle reminder of how much your big brother is loved and missed by you.

God bless you, Bob <><
