My brother Dave

 

My brother Dave is 16yrs younger than me and is the youngest of 5 children, he is also the only boy with 4 older sisters. He was mum’s favourite from the time he was born. He was in fact mum & dad’s miracle child, as after mum had my youngest sister Sandy, she had her tubes tied but a year later Dave arrived.

Turned out that as she had an ectopic pregnancy when Sue was very young the doctor only cut and tired the one tube she had, however, the other tube had knitted itself back together and that’s how they ended up with Dave.

As a child he got away with a lot of shit, but he grew from and annoying little bugga into an amazing man and all his sisters are so proud to have him as a brother.

Even though he is the youngest he is now the head of the family, I may be considered the matriarch of the family, but he is the head of the family.

At the moment he is very sick with pneumonia, he was taken to hospital on Monday night but was discharged with strong antibiotics only because his wife is an RN and is able to take care of him. However, most of us feel that he should still be in hospital.
