Happy Birthday to my Oldest Brother Joe

We Surprised him with little together with the family at his favorite resturant,

and it turned out great.

It made his eyes light up to see us all there and I couldn't be happier for that.

This brother is one special Brother to me, sorry if I turn this into something very emotional to me, but I swear that is all I have been thanks to this guy lately!

But growing up we had a really hard relationship we always struggled to find a common connection in things and we swore that we would never be friends.

Now that we have grown up and moved past silly differences we have come to find that we really love one another and in him I find a best friend, and a brother that I couldn't be happier or more glad that is apart of our family.

So I guess here comes the emotional part, if that wasn't enough for you.

My brother suffered a heart attack 2 weeks ago and it has consumed every moment of my life. Just thinking about it stresses me out. For him being only 29 and so young thinking about him leaving this earth is just shattering to me.

So from doctor appointments for my brother since he doesn't have a car, to trying to spend more time with him and his daughter my life has been rather, lets just say more busy!

He has stated to me how lonely he feels some days and I don't want him to feel that way, I want to feel those holes as much as possible. Even if it is just going to the zoo with him and his daughter or a simple text message or call.

I know my mother lost her brother to a heart attack at age 34, and that frightens me that could be me in the same boat. And I don't want to look back and think that I ever left my brother alone or feeling lonely. He means to much to me.

I just hope his little surprise birthday party made him feel like a million bucks and that he knows how loved he is in our family. 

We love you Uncle Joe
