Dear Ethan

Do you remember the first time that we met?

I do; it was unforgettable.

What about going fishing in the pond behind our house?

I do; it was humid and the smell of summer filled the air.

 

Do you remember pillow forts between the couch and the table?

I do; we held up against all odds.

Or the time that we sat on the grass in the backyard looking for constellations?

I do; it’s what gave fresh air its value.

 

Do you remember joining a band together?

I do; creating anthems is never easy work.

What about ziplining through the trees in the summer?

I do; it’s why I’m not scared of heights anymore?

 

Do you remember giving me a hug when I was crying on the floor?

I do; it’s why I stopped.

Do you remember laughing in the car?

I do; it’s why I still know how to drive.

 

Do you remember building worlds together out of Legos and imagination?

I do; it’s why Dad almost broke his foot.

Do you remember playing outside at Grandpa Tom’s house?

I do; I’m still scared of ants.

 

Do you remember when I got ready to leave?

I do; it’s why I’m writing this.

Do you remember being reading buddies in second grade?

I do; it’s why you know how to read this.

 

Do you remember being my friend?

I do.

 

Do you remember being my brother?

I do.
