Today he is 31 years old, every year that his birthday approaches, I tend to think of him more than usual. My brother and I have been very different people, and in these past few years, we haven't had the best relationship. But recently I've reconciled those differences and these negative perceptions I have of my brother and I see all the good that my brother carries with him. He is the most extroverted, charming person I know, he can be very kind when he needs to be and selfless at times. He can talk to anyone and make them smile or laugh. He is my brother and even though we aren't as close as I would want to be, I still love him and wouldn't change who he is.
My favorite memories of my brother are the times that he lived in Fontana and he would come to pick me up in Pomona just so I could stay over at his place. And those car rides were always my favorite moments with my brother, the practical jokes that we would play on each other. I remember hiding in his closet once while he was out in the kitchen or something at night time and when he came back in I scared the life out of him. I think that was one of the last times I ever did that to him because I was scared I might give him a heart attack.
I remember when I was younger he didn't ever let me play video games, and whenever I found out he rented some new videogame I didn't even want to play. I just wanted to sit there and watch him play, and I would get the biggest kick out of that. I have a lot of favorite memories of my brother but theres no way I could actually write it all out.
Happy birthday big brother.
