To my brother who has been a surgeon among men in the field of human relationships, personality, support and good will

Dear Brian,
I must say you've clearly out done yourself..  But thats clear to every friend you've known.  Living in China in Hong Kong is a real tough chord to play as I see it.  You are soon to have your third child, may it be with G-ds blessings that he or she be born as God sees fit to deliver him or her to our lives.   Baruch Hashem.  You have prooven yourself as a father of 2 beautiful intelligent thoughtful diligent and rambunctious (just kidding) sons who brighten our lives many times over.   Your progess through college and into the work place is simply remarkable.  Noone has more friends that I know than you have found in all of your venues, stations, circles, places of rest and activity and places of diligent endeavors.  Many things have been said between us over the years.  You've made our brotherhood a priority almost all of the days of your life.  It is astonishing how I can make you angry one moment and then you are rarely angry in the future.   I admire your ability to swallow some big pills I send your way some of the time. :).  Indeed brotherhood is never a simple matter.  It takes skill and compassion to build a lasting true relationship that endures all sorts of unpleasant arangements that one must obviously be challenged by if you are the younger sibling.  You do your best to bring honor to our family.  I admire your challenges and I admire your commitments.  First and foremost you think of mom and dad and our relatives.   You have gone more places than I may ever visit.  Honor follows integrity.  Nothing stops your benevolence and nothing stops your choice to think of others and think of the friends you have met.  You never cease to impress me by success in your work, social life, parenting, friendships and time constraining acheivements.   May there be plenty of good will for you as you have shown much to the world. 
Your brother,
C.J.
