I Nicole visited my brother just before he passed away with our other brother, older sister and our birth mom. Tony was so beautiful and so happy. Always smiling. Although he was much older than me I felt he was my baby brother. That visit was the most amazing day ever. I got to see his room (YUP DECKED TO THE CORE WITH SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS) He played music for me. He dropped something and I picked it up for him then he threw it again and laughed cause he knew I'd pick it up for him again. It was my job to do what my brother wanted me to do... To show me he's the big guy lol. I ended up moving to the same town where he lived 10 years after he passed away. I had no idea. I feel my brother brought me here. I can feel my brothers presence all the time. I didn't get to know my brother when he was alive and I'm sure he's able to play tricks on me now as he's in the spirit world. He takes my cell phone lol. I'm grateful for my siblings, all of them. I am sure if my brother had the chance he would play tricks on all of us.
