Today is my BABY brother's birthday. The day he was born there was a 6 foot snow drift between our house and shed. He was the sweetest thing and the only boy in our family. Mom and Dad were expecting a 4th girl so we struggled to name him. He was jaundice so he was under the bilirubin lights at the hospital. I loved helping take care of him. He's my boy and I love him bunches. I am SO very proud of the man he has become. He works hard and is VERY

close to obtaining his Master's Degree from

Simon Business School at the U of R.

I've always been very overprotective of him and treated him more like my own kid than a brother. And anyone who hangs with us know that he is perfect.

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARK! I love you.

........ and I'm still sorry about the boogie man stuff!
