Big brother

It’s the first day of school and my big brother is off to kindergarten. For three years he has played with me and protected me. He’s been with me through diaper changes, food fights, spankings, sleepless nights and tantrums. He helped me learn to walk and talk. He’s been my translator when no one else could understand what I was saying. He’s my sports hero, my favorite T-ball player, basketball star, football fanatic and NASCAR fan. Now, he’s going to school. Someday, I guess I will, too, but no matter what happens, he will still be my big brother, my hero.
