know everyone knows me as your younger
brother, but my story is about a memory when
I I was a very young.
You were the fi rst and only child for almost 4 years
and because you had no siblings you would play
with your dolls, dress them up and pretend to
have a little sister. When Mom was expecting I’m
sure you and our mom were hoping for a real little
sister.
My early childhood memory is of Mom dressing
me up in your old clothing and you parading me
around as your little sister. I have old photos to
prove it, photos which have triggered these old
suppressed memories.
What I have always remembered from our
childhood is that you have has always been a great
sister. You were there with Mom and Dad helping
begin to walk, ride a bike, and even speak English.
I was lucky to have you as a big sister to watch
over me.
Love your little BROTHER, John
