My Big Brother Rob... An Essay by his Little Brother Bill March 2007 |

"Seven years ago
a perfect stranger of different cultural & ethnic background walked into
my life.
At first I was a bit skeptical even a little scared.
Who is this man and why do I need him in my life were
the questions I asked.
My mom informed me that the stranger was probably a
little apprehensive himself about what he was getting into with a
strange little boy.
Over the years we have spent a lot
of time together going to sporting events and he attending my soccer and
tennis games and birthday parties and his endless help with school
projects.
I will always remember the pyramid we
made from dog biscuits (I got an A for that project).
I also enjoy the quiet time at his
home with his family, Denise, Jack and Beau, helping to rake leaves and
doing other yard work, running errand for Denise and his helping me get
birthday and Christmas gifts for my mom.
He talks to me about respecting my
mom and others and lets me know when I am not so nice or if my grades
are slipping in school.
He is also one of my biggest fans.
He applauds at my tennis matches and lets me know he is
proud of my work at school and at home.
I can confide in Rob and
tell him all my secrets ands feelings because he always has the right
answers and knows exactly what to say.
I honestly can't imagine what life would have been like
these past years without Rob being part of it.
He means the world to me.
You see, Rob is no longer a stranger.
He is part of my family and I can only hope and wish
that he considers me a part of his family. |
