Happy Birthday Brother!

So many childhood memories...
we could write a book of our life.
Remember the times I had to slap you...
and you backed me in a corner with a knife?

Your memory is like an elephant's...

so I know you remember when...
we watched "Little Lulu" and "Pincushion Man"...
over and over again.

You always keep me laughing...

with the crazy things you say and do.
Something happened to your brain...
probably that S-curl when you were two.

I know that now I have you laughing...

but for a minute let me be serious.
The person you've become is surprising...
and I have to admit I'm curious...

To know more about you as a man.

It's not that you are a stranger.
But right now you're so far away...
and your job puts you in danger.

Like everyone else I do worry...

and pray that God keeps you safe.
In fact you're always in my prayers...
so you can be here for Antonio's sake.

I just want you to know that I'm proud...

and thankful for what you do for our land.
I know God will again bring you home...
so I can learn more about the man.

Okay now the seriousness is over.

It's back to me being silly.
Remember when momma said not to gamble...
and then you got blackmailed by Chilly?

Right now I'm laughing so hard...

so it's time for me to go.
But let me mention one more thing.
It's one thing I do know.

You are the most honest person...

no matter who you may offend.
I thank God that you're my brudder...
and I'll love you til the end.
