My Brother!

Dear Dustin-      
 I thank you for being the best big brother ever. I have so many good memories of you while I was growing up. I remember when you would let me play soccer with you (the big kids) in the street or when we would play "kick the can" and hide in the corn (the best place to hide until dad would yell at us that we are ruining his corn). I remember when we were all jumping on the trampoline and you and Jeremy Wells got on and we riped the tramp and all of us ended up on the ground.  I remember spying on you when you were on dates and you called me your little pest. But, as we grew older I loved that you had the best personality... and that you loved to spend time with your family...You are the best dad and your children are really going to miss you!!!! As am I.....Thank you for being the best brother ever. I love you and hope that you save a place in line for me. 
Love your little Sis,
Adrienne
