This time it’s a quiet time, no shouting or running down the stairs or slamming of doors. No wondering and looking or searching, just you, waking up, going on with your day. Silently, quietly, alone…no one knows or has a clue and I think you prefer it that way. It wasn’t always that way; years ago it was fun times, something to look forward to, a time of togetherness -- of sorts. Now it feels at though it brings distance and a collective thought of “Wow another one down”. I talked to you last night, for what seemed to be hours but actually minutes, you were in no mood to really talk in depth for what ever reasoning it might be. Only silence, an occasional sigh and wondering what might be going through your mind at that very moment between the two of us, or what ever events going on in your personal life. Maybe its school, or some one, could you be that afraid of failure? It’s not really happened to you as of yet. Maybe it’s the “teachings” of our Pop that has brought you to this point.
That huge working brain of yours moves so quickly, far beyond anyone’s realizations or expectations. However, you feel it doesn’t work properly and to the beat of the same drummer as the rest of the world. Be happy it doesn’t, be happy that you are original and can think and stand alone.
Along with that brain is a huge heart, filled with so much love for your fellow man, no matter whom ever they may be and however they may cross you. I stand amazed how no one has faults in your eyes, as does anyone else that may have the pleasure of truly getting to know you.Learn this, you aren’t alone, just separated only in a distance, nothing a phone call or a quick jump in the truck wouldn’t cure and can easily be managed. Physical distance is just a tiny obstacle that can be over come but doesn’t lessen the feelings people have for you. Also learn this, no matter what anyone says or thinks, don’t let them get you down. You are the master of your own destiny, the builder of your own dreams, and the maker of your own hearts desire.
You keep creating, loving, caring and trying --- that’s what life is all about, that’s the challenge everyone is brought to, you just need to see it and you will achieve it, I have no doubts you will some day.We all four have been taught that, you know it and you live by it, I’ve seen you live by it more than all of your brothers or sister. Along with learning to love and give that same respect to others, you sometimes walk away from hurt and those that hurt, without giving them retribution. Knowing they will continue to hurt just for the pure pleasure of it and will only bring you down. Even though you don’t believe you are that mature, you are above and beyond the majority of your peers. You, my friend, my little brother, have a happy birthday the best you know how.
