I really struggled with this LO... so many ideas, so little space!

This is yet another dedicated to my little brother, Aaron (still another on the way!) I was 8 years old when he was born.

The title is "Congratulations, it's a BROTHER!"

The journaling reads:

[i]"Before you, I was just the shy kid.

Before you, my days consisted of building tree houses and rollerskating to the corner market for Jolly Ranchers.

Then one day, I went to the hospital where Mom was having a baby. The reality of her pregnancy never really hit me until the moment I walked in and saw you laying there on a little baby-table right next to Mom's hospital bed.

I walked over to you, I couldn't believe how small you were... I had dolls bigger than you. I wanted to touch you, but was scared I might do something wrong; so I stuck out my index finger and slowly approached. Then, to my suprise, you reached up with your tiny hand and grabbeb my finger!

I'll never forget how tight you squeezed, and how amazed I was that you were so strong! It was that very moment that I knew I loved you.

It was then that I knew my life would never be the same.

I had always wished for an older brother or sister, someone who would fight off the bullies and stick up for me, someone to borrow clothes from, a best friend to talk to.

When you arrived, I realized that I was now the big sister. I was no longer the loner. I had inherited the responsibility - from all big sisters before me - to protect, to teach, to love unconditionally.

When you were born, you gave me a purpose - to be your sister."[/i]
