What can I say about big brothers??? Every girl secretly wishes for one and this girl has one!!! I love my brother, my PROTECTOR!!! Yep, that's right... mess with me and you'll be surprised at the response. My big bro has always protected his sisters (there were 6 of us) and you'd be crazy to want to feel his wrath... like, seriously. LOL
My brother is cool though, down for whatever... barbecues, crawfish boils, family gatherings, dominoes, pity pat, shooting pool, etc. He's awesome, funny, MESSY (I cried many days until I realized he meant no harm and just spoke hard... lol; I can be tough as nails but there was a time that he (and he alone) could make me lose my bearings... so glad that time is OVER). He loves to watch movies and he has an huge collection... were I to live next to him; Redbox and Blockbuster would never see me again. :-) My brother has the most beautiful handwriting in the world, calligraphy just seems to be his left-handed writing style and one I have secretly admired for the longest time.
So, what do I remember about my awesome brother??? I remember a day in middle school when we had to do a project and I needed a ROSE, a pretty one, drawn on my posterboard... I struggled and then asked him to do it for me. HE is soooooooooooo talented as an artist. I kept that rose until the paper wore out :-) and then copying his lead; he took the drawing test, I attempted the same... I guess I didn't realize it but I respected his creativity and skill. He made a 99 on that test, if I remember correctly, and I made a 95! He is one of the cleanest men I know and yet he's my second mechanic of choice, just as good as his daddy. I Love my brother... and I remember the breakdance crew he either established or just danced on... it was so entertaining to watch him, my sister and Kenny Boo handle their business in the livingroom... creating unique dance steps and blowing my mind with the electric boogaloo, the robot and the pop... they had it going on... yes, they did :-). He used to bring my lil sis and I to the movies or to his home for sleepovers that allowed us to watch unlimited movies.
He is a man of multiple skills and talents... I use to love sitting on the back of the car as a child, watching as he and the fellows in the coalshoot played ball in the street; he was an incredible athelete and I was his cheerleader! I love him because he is my brother and because he's made me a stronger woman in so many areas of my life. I face challenges and opposition better because of him. I was in spiritual bootcamp and he was my drill sargeant. I LOVE also that he is the father of his children and my nieces and nephews whom I also LOVE and how he has impacted my daughter's life, who now refers to him as one of her FAVORITE uncles.
YOU are an awesome person Tyrone and your lil sis... LOVES and genuinely LIKES you. May God continue to bless and increase you... in every possible way!
This is dedicated to the one I love... & LIKE! Today that person is my BIG bro... Mr. Clarence Poole, Jr.

Dee Poole You know what... I just remember that the LAST gift you gave me (maybe last year) was a porcelain rose; it sits in my curio cabinet... so, I do still have a ROSE from YOU! :-)
