John

This is a picture of my baby brother. It's not the way I remember him because he'd put on a lot of weight in this picture and grown older. I always think of him as being in his 20's and much thinner. Maybe because that's how I like to remember me.

He almost looks like a stranger to me. Somebody I never knew. Then I look in those eyes that are sparkling with the absurdity of having a parrot on his shoulder and I know it's John.
