Big Brother

From the moment I took my first breath, you started to look after me.

 

For this, I thank you.

 

No matter if we are together or miles apart, I'm always comforted to know there is someone in this crazy world that has my best interest at heart.

 

I thank you.

 

You set forth a path that would guide me through life, while always encouraging me to veer off every once in awhile to find my own way.

 

I thank you.

 

You stood up for me when I was bullied, and became the bully when I need to be knocked down.

 

I thank you.

 

You did not ask for this role, but it was on you were destined to star in.

 

I thank you.

 

You protected me.

You looked out for me.

You were a friend when I had none.

You were a mentor.

You were my confidant.

You were my advisor.

You are my best friend.

 

My brother.

 

I thank you.

 

When nothing seems to go my way, when I'm in the midst of a whirlwind, when I just can't seem to get my back on the ground, I reach for your hand to pull me back down.  Providing prospective, strength, humor and encouragement, my big brother.

 

I thank you.
