My brother is a special person.  He has also been a terrific and outstanding father figure for my boys.  He encourages  them in everything they do especially when it comes to sports.   He even takes them to do special things.  He takes Timmy every summer to the Bengals Training Camp.  Last year for his birthday he took him to a Bengals game.  He has even taken him to some Reds games.  Yesterday he stopped by and surprised my youngest son that he was going to the Bengals game today.  I am sad that they lost but he had a terrific time.  I am so thankful for the brother that I have been blessed with.
