My sweeto burrito lil' Lulu,
Happy Birthday!!!!
Straight up I cannot believe that you are turning sixteen, this literally blows my mind because I vividly remember when you first came home from the hospital and were the size of an actual burrito, and now gosh dang it your kissing girls, driving Stephanie, and throwing parties for all your friends. Where has all the time gone?! I often reflect on our childhood together (well at least my childhood because I'm now a "Adult"- wow that gives me old man heartburn to say) of our "shared" lego sets that I usually built once, played with about five times (if that) while as you lovingly built them time after time while narrating a continuous story line that always somehow ended in dynamite or a rogue wrecking ball blowing everything up. I also remember those lazy summer days where we would binge on stale popcorn I would find lurking in the back of the kitchenette while Mom mopped upstairs cause you know "in this world we're all alone, you know I love my ocean home". In all honesty childhood would have been a hot mess express without you. I often listen to my companions vent about their siblings and how they always fought or straight up ignored one another, and are even more shocked when I tell them that we never really fought, but really just best friends. I know for a fact that we were best friends before this life (premortal life pals- woot) and were destined to be brothers. I am so delighted to be your brother and even more delighted to celebrate your Birthday!!!!! Therefore in closing:
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM ALL OF US TO YOU, EVEN IF YOU HAD NO BIRTHDAY WE WOULD STILL PARTY IT UP WITH YOU- HEY!!!
Love your favorite brother (oh wait I'm your only brother- that's awkward)
