feliz cumpleanos, tio bobby

yesterday was my youngest brother's 21st birthday.
we had a nice family dinner together at our house.
and some delicious homemade german chocolate cake thanks to nani.
bobby was only 3 when i went away to college - john john's age now.
we were very close and it was very hard for me to be away from my sweet little brother.
when we would talk on the phone he would ask, "when are you coming home, 'lish?".
so, my friends at school started calling me "come home 'lish".
this made me smile, and laugh, and then sometimes cry because then i would get homesick.
girls are pretty sensitive like that, you know.
that is one of my favorite bobby stories.

feliz cumpleanos, hermano!
