One Little Indian Boy




How is it that a baby is tucked away for 9-10 months and comes out with a beautiful brown tan? His complexion is just amazing considering it has never been in the sun!

GBK and I love to sing the kid song- 10 Little Indians. That is probably not politically correct in today's society. I say society can bite me. We love that song and it helped her learn how to count forward and backward. We sing it so that there are 10 Indian Boys and One Indian Girl. We want the girl to have the best pick possible!

It has been a crazy crazy week (the last 7 days)... but everyone is doing just fine, healing normally and getting better every day. We are all so thankful.

Today my family celebrates what would have been my brother's 42nd bday. Every year we do something to remember him- I bake a cake, go out to eat, watch a movie, play a board game, take a drive in the country, *something* that would remind me of the good times with my brother. We also have a bigger family day in Sept, on the anniversary of this death. It keeps me from falling apart. Even now, 21 years after his accident it feels like he was just with us.

I feel his presence quite often... not a day goes by that I do not think of him.

I miss my big brother.

That's so good that you do something to remember your brother. I know what you mean about not a day goes by without think of him. I do the same with my dad.
