A poem to my brother Bob when he wrecked his truck a few years back and was seriously injured!

Bob, I feel so helpless that I can't be by your side. I can only imagine that terrible truck ride! My heart breaks as I envision your truck flipping over and over with you inside! They would have had to dug a hole for me too, had you died! I wish I had access to a helicopter so I could have gotten to you right away. If it'd been a Life and Death situation I would have crawled to the hospital Saturday! No freezing rain would have gotten in my way. I can't imagine my life without you for even one day! Thank God you weren't killed is all I can say! I want you to know that I appreciated your loaning us money when we were down on our luck. I hate it that you totaled your beautiful red truck. I hope "2007" starts bringing you and Julie better luck. But, losing you would have been a zillion times worse then losing your truck! You & I have had far more then our share of bad fights! But, if anyone said anything bad against you to me honey, they'd better run & hide! I'd defend your honor with great pride! There aren't words to describe what you mean to me & my family! We love you un-conditionally! I look up to you little brother...you mean the world to me! You & I share a very special bond because we had the same Mother & Father. Shirley & Sharon love you too, & so does our new found brother...Bob Loter. Your all that I have left from our family of 4! I'm so grateful your still alive that I could kiss the floor. I'd be so lost if I didn't have you anymore. I worship the ground you walk on Bob...need I say more? When Shirley told Jason his uncle Bob had been in an accident and had wrecked his truck he put his little hand over his mouth and said..."OH NO". He looks up to you cuz your his "Hero". It's so cute the way he follows you where ever you go. That's because he loves you so. He still thinks Brooke's pretty...you know. I wish I could take back all the negative things we've fought about over the years! We've neither one had an easy life...only God knows we've shed alot of tears. Nobody understands you quite like I do. I know your pain because I have it too. Before Mom died she told me to take care of you. That's why I have to be the glue. There's no sister on the face of the earth that loves her brother as deeply as "I LOVE YOU". Love, Margie
