When I think about St. Patrick's Day, I think about spending that holiday with my brother David. It was those days that made me really dislike David. He would get in a mean spirit at school because of all the pinching going on, then he would come home and start fighting with me. I would get pinched and punched even though I was wearing green. He loved to pick on me. But now, I really don't mind. I wish he were home so he could pinch me to celebrate St. Patrick's Day.
I know now that his way of showing he cared was by picking on me. He still picks on me even though he is 19 and I am 17. I have a feeling that he will be picking on me until the day I die. Somehow, that makes me smile. David wouldn't be David if he wasn't a bully. That is just one of the many things that makes him who he is.
David is a bully to me for a different reason though. It isn't because he doesn't like me, it is because he wants me to be strong. I hope I don't disappoint him.
Big brothers are just like that. I know mine was about exactly the same and they always say "I'm just doing it to toughen you up." I know how you feel wanting your brother to be here. I wish mine was. Just like you, I wouldn't care if he was beating me up, as long as he was here.
ReplyDeleteI know how tough it must be on you to not have Justin with you. He is with you always though. D always says that he is thinking of me and I'm sure Justin is watching over you.
