A bead of life, come into mine,
into my thoughts but not my sight.
It's not the same, miles away,
wondering if he'll know my name.
Brother of mine has my smile.
But of that joy, I am deprived.
You are my own, but will you know
we share that oddly squishy nose?
Don't forget me, as I can't be
around to decorate the tree.
Always love dad, the one share.
He is the only dad you have.
Do not forget your older sis
although I cannot babysit.
For all you need, the phone call's free.
Nice to meet you, Tucker.


My name's Ashley.

I'm 18 and my step-mom is due in April. My baby brother Tucker will be born and live in Florida with our dad and my step-mom. I, on the other hand, live in Wisconsin and since I'm in college I will be starting my life soon. My trips to Florida will become less frequent and I'm worried my brother will never get to know me or I, him.
