Such a beautiful tribute to your brother. I have also lost my baby brother and it is those nicknames and the little things that still live on in us. Thank you for sharing a part of him with us here.

I was good up until the last paragraph, then the tears came. Keep him and your fun memories close, not that you'll miss him less, but at least you can smile through the tears.

I love that little keepsake box. I have a few, but never saw one so whimsical. I’m Curious. How big is it? I’m so sorry for the loss of your brother. You write about him just like a big sister should 🩵.
