I posted this deviation last night as a gift for my little brother Toby after seeing him cry after a fight with my little sister Sarah. Tonight after work when Mom was picking up my sister Keli from driver's ed, I was tucking Toby in for the night. I handed him the piece of paper and said "I drew you a picture. It's a brother and sister from a show I used to watch when I was little. "

Toby, who was a drug-abused baby, doesn't show many emotions other than anger. This means he rarely (almost never) ever says "I love you" or "thank you" or gives you a big sweet smile. He's usually either totally plain or raging in anger.

As I watched him try to get the picture to somehow sit up in a visible spot, however, I thought it was better than a "thank you". Even more surprisingly, when I bent down to give him a kiss "gooodnight" he turned his head toward me and accepted the kiss right on his lips.

I love that little guy.

For those who design, create and maintain websites: I don't know how you do it all. Where do you find the time and energy?? I will get it done, I just need to focus right now on working and earning money for my last year of college. I only have about 6 more months and I need to earn (hopefully) about $8,000-10,000.
