just shy of 22 years

yep that would be the age difference between me & my littlest brother. big enough where people thought he was mine. well he was mine...just *my* BROTHER! i can't believe it's been 7 years. that just plain blows my mind. he was the cutest darn little guy too! omg that chin, i could have just eaten it up, it was so flippin' adorable!! i digress...

zachary (4 years old: 2002) this cheesy grin kills me!! LOL


and sadly i do not have a more recent photo than that because my family does not seem to think i need to be kept current with such things even though i live 1200 miles away. =( maybe it's *because* i live 1200 miles away, i dunno...i digress. again. as usual.

May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam,
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home.
May you grow to be proud, dignified, and true,
And do unto others as you'd have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave,
And in my heart you'll always stay
Forever young
Forever young

May good fortune be with you and may your guiding light be strong,
Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond
And may you never love in vain,
And in my heart you will remain
Forever young
Forever young

When you finally fly away I'll be hoping that I served you well,
For all the wisdom of a lifetime no one can ever tell,
But whatever road you choose,
I'm right behind you win or lose.
Forever young
Forever young
(Forever Young: Rod Stewart)

Happy Birthday Zach-Attack!
