Little brother Robert, I miss you so much. Our relationship began with the beginning of me and your brother becoming one. I was so happy to inherit a baby brother as well. You and I shared a unique relationship as well. What my baby brother asked me to do I did what he asked me not to tell I didn’t. We shared a trust of sister and brother.
