You can take it with you

I have two brothers.

We have been through a lot together.

We are close.

They are incredible men and I love them.

I can't imagine life without them.

Today..., Garth, came by for a visit. He made something for me...

"To take it with you" he said.

Yes...he painted this rendition of our little home here on Pine Street. He made the frame from some old boards in Papo's garage, and put it all together for me.

He understands.

He always has.

  5. you changed the post about the qualities of your awesome brothers. One that I was going to add about Garth is he is the stud who loves to go shirtless! I also liked that he is your irish twin. I am blown away at his ability to paint, that is an amazing picture, and what a treasured gift to take with you. I would imagine that receiving that gift made the reality of leaving your family a little harder, making you remember how awesome family is. He is so sweet! I love you, and I love your older brother alot!
