You wanted a train inside mommy’s belly,
not a baby sister.
But once he realized he had a new partner to join him with the trinkets
we realized the journey just began.
Through all the forts, fights, and fishing trips.
I knew you would always look out for me.

I look up to you like I look up to the sky to seek comfort.
Seeing you lower than the darkest depths of the sea
Then watch as you rise higher than the clouds in the sky
It’s phenomenal,
To watch my role model excel in his dreams.

Through pushing me on my little red tricycle,
to wiping the tears off my innocent cheeks,
to helping me apply for college.
You’ve been there to reassure me
that the low points, is just a detour through life.
That the pain we’ve endured as a family
has only made us grow closer
I love you Joey
Through thick and thin you'll always be my idol.
