Dear Fleur.
It's my little brother's birthday.
I love him.
He makes my head spin when he kisses me on the cheek. And sings "bennyandthejets" in my ear. And asks me to build something with him please. And I just darn love him to the moon.
Something a lot of people don't know, a long time ago, he almost wasn't my brother anymore.
But he still is.
And he will be forever.
I can't wait for the day his voice changes.
The day he's taller than me.
The day he has a crush on a girl.
The day he falls in love.
The day he can talk about Shakespeare with me instead of Roald Dahl.
The day he wants to get married.
The day he starts a family.
I can't wait for all that.
But for now, I'll just float paper boats with him in the bathtub and discuss Le Petit Prince and peonies.
And it makes me so happy.
