I am almost a week late with this post, but better late than never! I have three brothers whom I love very much! Even though John has left us and gone home, the love for him has not diminished, it has gotten stronger! My oldest brother - Dink - is progressing with his recovery. It hasn't been an easy recovery, but he is hanging in there and doing what is asked of him. Then there is my "little" brother. He has had a very busy two weeks. Last week he was the best man for his only son - Todd. The day after the wedding, Mike had his 57th birthday! It was a day in which he and Debbie along with the rest of the family were resting up from the preparation of the wedding!
I had not forgotten you Mike!!! I had to organize and choose the pictures I wanted to post! I'm sure I have others, but little brother, this post is a tribute to you, and to let you know how much you are loved! Life has not always been easy, but with God by your side and the love and support of your family, you are a survivor. You do have the Layne and Whitman blood flowing through your veins!!! You know you are loved by all of us!!!!! - especially those two adorable children of yours - Todd and Meghan; by our mother; and your buddy and brother who watched over you as you grew up - Dink! All of the extended family love you as well. Just in case you don't know it - I love you very much too!!!!
Here are a few shots of you through the years. as the readers look at the pictures, I'm sure they will figure out how you became known as "cotton top" as a youngster!!!!!!!
Hugs from Mom
A good-bye kiss from Dad as he was going back to work!
