TO ALAN You were the little brother, that  I  would bribe to go away. Always smiling and waving, with not much to say. The years have brought us closer, my little brother is now a man. And I want us to be together, as often as we can. I know its not been easy, you take life day by day. I hope the love I have for you, has helped in some small way. I pray that every morning, will bring a smile to your face, that God showers you with love, and protects you in his grace. I know the love you have for me, You show me all the time . I will always love you dearly, big little brother of mine.   By D. L Shotwell Copyright 1997, 1998 D. L. (Brightbill) Shotwell  All rights reserved
