Baby Tommy & Big Sister Penny

Calling my brother; "Tommy" is confusing to some people, because most of his family and friends call him "Tom" and my nephew, his son "Tommy".....but to me my little brother is Tommy.  I remember having a pretend party when he arrived home with Mom, a few days after he was born. I even made a sign with crayons that said Welcome Home.  He was the cutest little blond curly top, and had the most beautiful blue eyes. I saw to it that he was well taken care of when we were under a babysitter's care. He needed to be changed, and I remember watching her clumsily change his diaper (cloth diaper) and I still clearly remember how quickly I took over the diaper closing when the safety pin she used to pin the diaper, snapped open, pricked him in the side & he started to cry!  I picked him up in my arms, told him nobody would ever do that again, and fired the babysitter! That might have been okay, but I was only 9 or 10 at the time and it didn't go well :)  I became his protective big sister and so many memories and stories unfolded in our childhood days.....I'm sorry that I wasn't always there to protect you Tommy. I'm sorry that time passed by so quickly, that we saw so little of each other, shared so little of our lives as adults and that I wasn't there to say; Goodbye.  I love you so much, and yet words feel so meaningless right now, but my heart tells a bigger story. So many memories flooding my mind but it's too late to share them with you, but I'll share them with your Chrissy, & your boys Tommy & Denis. Tears for you Tommy.....a million of them! You were such a beautiful human being and I'm forever grateful for your last message to me a few days before you left this earthly world. Thank you - Thank God I will read them over a thousand times I'm sure. Love you............your big sister Penny xo
