Todd was born March 30, 1980. Weighing in at more than 10 pounds with red hair and beautiful smooth fair skin.  Although, I was only 3 years old when my brother came into this world,  my mother always told me how proud I was to be a big sister. 

Little did I know just how much this little baby brother would come to mean to me. 

Then came our baby brother Joe in March 1983. The 3 of us had a bond so strong.  Most people just cant understand.  

We took care of each other.  Although I was the oldest, Todd always watched out for me. He protected me. 

Our mother raised the 3 of us on her own. Of course our father was in our lives but our parents separated when we were very young. 

Ill never forget all the nights Todd and I would stay up nearly all night watching the home shopping network. Lol 

Todd loved to explore the neighborhood and always came home with a smile and alot of dirt and grime from his adventures.  

As the years passed and Todd grew up, he met a girl and they married and had a daughter. After Karlee was born Todd was so happy. He was a farmer and worked so hard to.provide for his family. My brother was the smartest, funniest, big heartedest man ive ever known. He could take a pile of nothing amd turn it into something useful and creative. 

Todd struggled with mental illness throughout his adult life. And in the end, he lost his battle with depression and mental illness. 

My brother left us Only 8 months ago but, i miss him so much.

My life was him.

His wings were ready 

My heart was not
