Can I just day how much I LOVE MY BROTHER!!!

He left for New York in April to serve a full time mission, for 2 years.

I have a confession to make. I have only written him like 4 or 5 times since then! In my defense, being away from him is normal to me, I have lived away from him for long periods of time, for years. He’s not really a talkative person, and we never really had that kind of relationship.

With all of that being said, my brother is such a loving person! He has been so great about loving me, even during my teenage years when I may not have been the nicest sister. I love that guy so much!

Today I made myself a promise, that I would try harder to write him more frequently, even though my schedule is SO busy!

I was almost in tears today when I saw the email that he sent me today….

Here it is:

“hey i just so happened to hear you are working full time now! coooool!sorry i kinda just found all these cool emotions things when i started typing.........but idk if it will show up on your computer right or not but here's a random story I'm going to ad using some of these......

so one day i was walking around the bronX and i saw a random in a and that was listening to the and watching while driving his ! talk about dangerous! but i was very at the sight of this, but i stayed . then all of the sudden a came out of nowhere and logged on to a in the middle of the street! (talk about a facebook addiction!) but luckily the saw the on the in the middle of the street.so the and swerved out of the way and crashed the in to a . now the was and he called his , and his name was frosty the . now because it was out, his frosty the couldn't come. and i felt for the and i went over and gave him a to make him feel . but that didn't work and the monkey started to . oops!! so instead i gave the a and inside the was a ! but the was diabetic! and then the got really really !oops again!! but then out of nowhere another came and pinched the 's tail! ! how intriguing! the then ran away on the back of a ! now with this all over i stayed and kept walking around in the bronX!       "

 

So I know that this story doesn’t make all that much sense :)

But this IS Skyler. This is my goofy, happy, funny, fun loving brother. It makes my heart melt, and I miss him so much I feel like my heart will burst. I think the tears welling up in my eyes are also for the guilt I feel at the neglect I have given him. I’m going to try to be better.

I just love that guy.
