It's hard to pick just one time or one story to tell becuase there are so many that when I look back on with Philip and my family/friends that I laugh harder now than I had then. Like all the times my Dad and I would sneak up on Philip and scare him - he joked that we destroyed his nerves - I guess thats true when even our old cat who would lay outside the bathroom door could scare him when he opened it. He was the one that got me into video games, then I got him into online gaming. I don't even want to think all the hours we spent with my friend Carley just playing video games - where her and I would often team up on him....or he would manage to kill himself. Or the endless hours we played World of Warcraft and Guild Wars together, he may not have been that good at them - but he enjoyed playing them none the less. I'm going to miss the little convosations I would have with him well cooking dinner, or how after I baked cookies we would be the first to have some - we had to make sure they tasted good after all! None of my fond memories are those at the mall with him, our yearly trips to Ottawa or to Red Lobster in Kingston for his birthday every year....their the memories I have of us just being at home and talking, playing games, watching movies or just lazying on a Sunday afternoon with nothing to do but talk and watch the cooking channel. He was never my handicapped brother - he was always just Philip, he wasn't a fragile little bugger by any means - otherwise Erin would have broken him long ago...and I again many times over. I treated him like any little sister does a brother - I torchured him till my little heart disired. I will truly miss him cause he was not only my brother, but he was my best friend, my vent machine, my gaming partner and my personal TV guide. He will never be forgotten and if I ever have kids in the future they will know their awesome Uncle Pip through my many stories. I have so many to share and they will hear every one I can remeber. I know he's in heaven now and not in pain - but he will always be missed for the little things he did by everyone of us. My parents are great parents and Philip wouldn't have been who he was without them, Its not about all the different things you do with someone - what counts are the little things that you enjoyed together that made you laugh or smile. He was, is and always will be an amazing brother - he taught me more than anyone could know - and for that I thank him.
We will always love and miss him, but now hes with his brother Scott and he can tell him all about us, like I will tell people about him.
Love,
Brittany
(or as Philip called me: Bratney)
