Mom and Dad say I have a big brother….but I’ve never seen him. In my mind he is a giant, always laughing, always playing.
On Autumn evenings, when the moon is big and bold, I look for him in the stars that spark and streak across the sky. I imagine him up there, swinging on a crescent moon.
The stars twinkle like friendly eyes, and I wave to them, hoping one of them is Leo. I feel a small ache in my heart, a longing to know him.
On Winter days, when the yard is soft and still, I look for him outside, playing with feathery cardinals that flit and flutter over dusty drifts. The snow whispers secrets.
The cardinals, red blurs against the white, seem to be leading me on a chase, a delightful game of hide-and-seek.
I build a snowman, imagining it’s Leo, with a carrot nose and twig arms. I wonder if he likes snow too.
On Spring mornings, when the air smells sweet with dewy grass and lilacs, I look for him in the prism of color that arches across the clouds. I chase the rainbows.
The rainbow shimmers and dances, promising adventures and hidden treasures. I stretch my arms toward it, hoping to find my brother at the end.
I pick a bunch of lilacs, their purple fragrance filling the air. I hope Leo likes flowers, too.
On Summer nights, after the sun has gone to bed, I sit on the porch swing. Fireflies blink and wink, casting a magical glow.
I close my eyes, and I can almost hear his laughter, a melody carried on the warm breeze. I imagine him telling me stories.
I draw pictures of him, each one different, each one filled with love and hope. Maybe one day, I'll know what he really looks like.
One day, Mom and Dad take me to a park. A boy with bright eyes and a gap-toothed grin runs towards me.
He has a kite, and he calls out, 'Lily! I'm Leo!'. I look at him, speechless, and my heart fills with joy.
Leo scoops me up in a big hug, and I know that I'm no longer alone. We spend the afternoon playing under the sun.
As the sun sets, we sit side by side, watching the stars. I know that from now on, I will never have to look for him again.
