Missing My Brother
by Lindsay Fong

Feeling sad
making me cry
going to Oregon
not telling me why
miss his hugs
miss his laugh
calling me

Lindsay wrote this poem when she was in elementary school after Kerry went out west to live in Oregon.

Dear Mom, 
I have three memories.  I only have a little information in each because I don't remember all of it.  Doesn't mean I have forgotten him.  Here it goes....
Memories of Kerry
Kerry, Mary and I were in Pennsylvania.  I was staying with you at Mark's Mom's house.  Well, Kerry took Mary and I to a mall and we went shopping for baby clothes!  And this is when I just met Mary and I didn't know she was pregnant!  I thought they were crazy.  They made up this excuse that they wanted to pick out clothes for if they ever had a baby.  After we went shopping Kerry dropped Mary off away from her house because her dad didn't know that she was with Kerry.  Kerry and I cranked up the music and ate junk food.  After awhile I was thinking, "I don't think it takes about an one and a half hours to ge back to Mark's Mom's house" then it hit me....we were lost!  I asked Kerry if we were lost and he said "no", but I proved him wrong.  We didn't get back until about 1:30 in the morning.  I only wish I could still be with Kerry in that car. 
Kerry was very mean and weird at sometimes.  I remember I went down stairs to him because he had a friend and I felt jealous.  I guess I was bothering him and embarrassing him because I was only in my underwear!  He slurped up a big glob of spit and shot it at my underwear!  awwwww I started to cry (this may have been a dream). 

One time you and I got into a BIG fight.  I guess I was being mean to you and I went to my room and slammed the door.  Kerry came in so pissed off at me for treating you like that.  He was yelling so loud like a lion roaring.  I was so scared.  He stood up for you BIG TIME. 

Love,
Lindsay
p.s.  We
all miss him
