I was about 9, we were at open swim at the high school, it was summer, we were waiting for our mother to pick us up, (we were always waiting for our mom) and I was tiny y'all. I weighed 86 pounds when I got my DL. Some bigger kid was picking on me, I was standing by myself, and this kid pushed me... Actually pushed me. From the ground, and regaining my wits, I see a shadow of a person come from nowhere and I watched this kid fly across the school yard. It was my brother Kevin. And that's the moment I knew sometimes it's awesome to be a little brother. That's just one story. He let us open Christmas presents early, (don't tell my mom), but Keith and I had something good, really good, and Kevin was going to be in big trouble. Keith and I played with that cliffhanger racetrack for hours, (it was the only thing we wanted that year), and then we wrapped it back up, and acted really surprised on Christmas morning. My brother put me on his shoulders and walked me through the Muskegon Mall, I remember cedar point and camping, late night car rides, campfires and tenting in the back forty behind our house. Kevin didn't always make good decisions in his life, neither do I quite frankly, it's all a learning curve. I'm so happy Kevin found love. My big brother, in spite of his own stuff, always looked out for me. I love you Kevin.
