Two more days and you would've had a six! I thoroughly enjoyed this memorial of your younger brother. I was the younger brother in my case and never got along with my older brother but loved my sister. It's wonderful that God grants us these memories, and the faith to know we will see them again. Your writing always highlights my day!

I absolutely loved your stories based on fond memories of adventures with your younger brother. I am so sorry for your loss. I loss my younger sister this past July, two days after my birthday. You never forget the good times you had. I'm glad you re-posted this piece, so more of us could read your tribute to Earl.

I really enjoyed these stories of you growing up with a younger brother. Thanks for sharing them with us. I grew up on a farm too and had a very free and easy childhood.

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. I am very close to my little brother, and I don't know what I'd do if I lost him.
The only consolation you have, any who experience such loss has, is that you have a treasure trove of memories that you can carry every day.
I will keep you in my prayers.

May your little brother rest in eternal peace. I'm so sorry for your loss.
The closeness between you is well reflected in this loving memoir. Even the painful whack to your nose didn't break the bond.

Blessings Julia

I love this telling of your childhood years with your brother, and I'm sad that he isn't able to read it. Your love for him comes through strongly. Thank you for sharing this, Patricia! xoxo

I am sorry for your loss. Your story is a nice tribute to your little brother. Very well-written, interesting, very relatable. My little brother was a pain too. I remember asking mom if we could trade him. Guess all big sisters feel that way every once and awhile. Nice job.
