Happy Birthday Bro, I Miss Ya!

Andy was three years my senior and he passed back in 2015 from cancer. He was a cool dude that was right with his Lord and a great Santa in the season.

He was also a pain in the ass. Ask anyone who has a older sibling close to their age and I believe you will find similar responses.

I grew up in the shadows of five older siblings, that’s right the baby of the bunch. Now that’s not all that it is cracked up to be. let’s set that in stone straight away.

Anyway he taught me life lessons both good and bad but a quick story about us at around 12 and 9 years of age. He had got me in trouble with my Dad for who the shit remembers why,

So we were at the corner store buying candy and such one Sunday and he decides to steal this fudgesicle and stuffs it down the front of his pants and keeps telling me we got to go…Oh hell no, that wasn’t happening.

I keep talking to the old lady that owned the place for around another 5 minutes, (oh did I mention it was mid-summer before air conditioning existed!) It melted about half way before we left so yea I had to pay for that at a later date…

Stack Em’ Up

The next summer Andy cut off three of his toes on his right foot in a lawn mover accident and had to go to to the E.R..

Fast forward a week and Andy’s propped up on our colonial couch in the living room. A beautiful day so after school I stop by the local bakery and pick up 1 each of our favorite pies, cherry for me and Boston creme for him.

Being the little shit I was, when I got home I sat cross legged just out of reach of him and taunted him with them.

He used one of his crutches and pulled MY pie to him and reached out to pick it up…wrong wrong mf*r wrong!

I lifted that Boston creme up and threw it like Nolan Ryan straight at him. Needless to say there was pie all over the couch, his head and both walls behind him, his reaction…”wait till mom gets home” and laughed.

Well, mom was due to get off work in around fifteen minutes and there was no way to get it cleaned up so I took 2 ass whippings for that one, one from each parent when they got home.

Happy Birthday my brother and thanx for all the memories, Love ya man

until next time-
