On my 16th Birthday James and his wife Sandra made me a teddy bear birhday cake and man that cake was too cure to eat so we kept in the fridge a long time.  I truely loved that cake! My brother could really surprise me.


Once I was driving with my first born who was a toddler at the time and wouldnt stay in a car seat.  We were going down Garden Grove Blvd and all of a sudden I seen police flashing lights and right on my tail and through the speaker he was tellingme to pull over...I was thinking "Oh shit" and as the officer approched I seen it was James and he started laughing and he put Robert in his car seat and let us go :)


James and I got new Nissan trucks at the same time, my truck was brown his was red, we liked to see who could out shine theirs 'hmmmmmm now that I think about it my twice a week beat his once a month' Hahaha


After his daughter Jessica was born Jim used to grab the diaper cart everytime she needed changed and he would make noises like an ambulance was coming and Jessica would laugh..  :)


When my youngest son was born Jim came to the hospital and would try to make me laugh knowing it hurt for me to do that esp after the c-sec... oh I could have killed him then.  He was so jazzed his nephew had his middle name.


When James had low times in his life and just needed someone to talk to I was always there.  I really think he listened on several things but he was STUBBORN.


For my high school graduation Jim was back in the mid west and I in California so he sent me a card which I still have... It said I got you a Shiny new Lincoln and when open it was a shiny new penny... he really had a good laugh with that!   I always looked for something to get him back.


I have so many memories of James I jsut shouldwrite a book. HAHA


Anyhow I miss you brotheer.. xoxoxoxo
