Often times when I'm running, I think about him. It's kinda like my alone time to connect to him through memories. Most of the memories are from when we were younger and our childhood. And sometimes I think about the last few days that I was able to spend with him. Today I was thinking about how great it was to have such a caring and loving brother. I've always been a "loner" when it comes to relationships so my brother didn't have to do too much protecting coming up. I was however reminded of a story that he and his friends told me. One time Daniel and his friends were hanging out at the house and for some reason I came over to drop off a pizza to them. His friend Byron began to talk about how "cute" the pizza girl was. I don't know exactly what was said but from what I was told Daniel got pretty heated, "that's my lil sister man!" His other friends that were present truly believed that there would be a physical fight. I am currently involved in a relationship and sometimes I wonder how Daniel would handle this situation. His baby sister with a boyfriend. LOL. My boyfriend is a good guy, so I'm sure he would be fine, but that 1st meeting would have been pretty hilarious to have seen.
