My Biggest Brother

When I think of my brother Skip the first thing that comes to mind is, I was robbed!

We are 18 years apart with four siblings between us. I didn't get to see him graduate from high school. I didn't meet his dates and get to tease him like pesty little sisters do. I didn't get to sick him on the mean kids at school that picked on me. There are a million things I didn't get to do because he was a man when he drove my Mom to the hospital to deliver me. He was gone, married, and out to sea my whole life. I dont even get to enjoy the memories of how his loved and played with me like so many others tell me about. What I did get to have many do not are two very precious things; one was the desire to love and support our US Navy because he did. Initially I thought that meant active duty for me, but instead I spent 22 years as a Navy wife and learned having anchors from both my brother and my husband has become much more important to my heart than active duty ever could have. Second, I had the privilege to hold his hand during his last good days, to hear him say, "I am so glad you are here." and "I love you baby sister." Nothing can ever compare to those moments my brother shared with me; his love for me, but even more so the love in his marriage and family. Precious unconditional love. Thank you Skip, I miss you again.. I miss you still.. I will always miss you until we meet again.

Love , Your Baby Sister.
