An ode to my big bro…

After reading your blog about Pastor Durso, I thought to myself that I've been selfish for very long, by not thanking you for all the wonderful things that you’ve been to me. So here it goes...

1. thanks for putting my diaper on backwards when mommy wasn’t home.
2. thanks for taking family trips with me to the seaport when I was young.
3. thanks for being the man of the house when one was absent.
4. thanks for taking me to nyu.
5. thanks for saving all my baby teeth in a small yellow envelope.
6. thanks for teaching me to tell the water to “get out my way, im coming through” as I learned to swim.
7. thanks for being a big brother to nani & i
8. & a great son to mom.
9. thanks for taking that one last move as a family to 64th place where I still lay my head to sleep.
10. thanks for letting me know that a prodigals son story is great, but greater is the story of the one who has always kept the ways of the Lord...even if i didnt follow through.
11. thanks for leaving me that book when you married lisa & you couldn’t be here.
12. thank you for my wonderful and beautiful nephews & sister in law.
13. I love aaron & corey, but I was the original “champ” ;-)
14. thanks for your early morning prayers .
15. id like to wipe all the tears off of your face that you’ve ever cried because of me.
