My brother Zeb, turned 30 today. I remember the first time I held him in my arms. I saw so much of myself in him and was so happy that I had a sibling. My brother Zeb was my favorite person. I thought about him all of the time after I found out about his arrival. Zeb and I have different mothers so, I didn't get to see him as much as I wanted. Absence definitely makes the heart grow fonder. I remember vividly when Zeb was about 2 or 3 years old, I went to visit him and my dad at their home in Brentwood, Long Island. It remains one of my fondest memories. During that visit, my brother rode around on his tricycle incessantly. He kept making sure that I would notice him and I never took my eyes off of him. I was enamored. Everything about my little brother made me smile. The way he called me by my nickname, the way he grabbed my hand, the way he hugged me. My little brother was perfect in every way. As the years went by and I was able to see him grow, my love for him grew too. I really enjoyed spending time with him and playing jokes on him. Whether we were hanging out at my dads apartment in the Bronx, going on family trips during the summer, or hanging out at our grandmothers house I always looked forward to seeing him. Still do. My brother Zeb, is 30!!! WOW!!! You will never find someone more proud of their brother than me. Zeb, is intelligent, funny, caring, creative, compassionate and so much more. I feel truly blessed to have him in my life. If you know him wish him a happy birthday today!!!
