i am in a vintage mood, so feel lucky...
this is my little brother, matthew. isn't he just darling. we only had him on earth for a little less than 4 years. he's one of those kiddos that are sent here for just a short period of time to bless a few folks along the way...
my mom had this picture taken when my dad was out to sea..thus, the sailor suits...and note my awesome whistle too. accessories!! i don't remember too many details about matt not being anything but fun and my little bro. i never knew until i was older that matt had cp {cerebral palsy} and 16 other major birth defects.
i do remember screaming at people who would stare at him. {shocking i know}. i also remember swinging his swing as high as it would go and mom almost having a panic attack when she saw me doing it. he liked it...he was laughing really hard!!
so today, for no really good reason, i am honoring my litle bro, matt. he's so darling. he's got my daddy's ears and my mommy's button nose...and his face just brings joy to my heart. and if he were still here, he would be 38, which blows my mind...what makes me super joyful is that one day i will reunite with him in heaven. praise the lord.

Thank you for sharing your tribute.
I didn't know you were a Navy brat!
I have an older brother that we lost in 1975, I intend to do a lot of catching up -- in another 60 years or so.
Thanks for sharing and for the great pictures!! I heard an interesting sermon about heaven once, that when we are reunited with our loved ones, the time lost will be restored and we will have renewed minds full of memories. Like we were never apart. I cling to that sometimes, that my son and I will know each other, I mean really know each other, when we see each other again.
You have such a beautiful family- I love the sledding pics too!
Blessings to you!
