Hey yall! Welcome back to another edition of my "Out of My Mind Series". This week I've been thinking about my brother. No, I'm not talking about my step-brother Jimbob. I'm talking about my biological brother, Tommy. Some things you should know before I begin: 1. His full name was Thomas Leon Cox (my dad and grandpa's middle names); 2. He passed away when he was 15 days old from Crib Death; 3. He was older than me; 4. He would have been 27; 5. One of my really good friends has the same birthday as he did (July 30); & 6. Most people don't even know I have a brother. Like I said before, I've been thinking a lot like him. What would he look like? Would we have been close? Would he have gone to college? Would he have any talents? Would he have the Cox eyes? Would he look more like my mom or my dad? Several things to think about. Here's how I picture him:
He would be pretty attractive, and my friends would have the hugest crush on him. He would play soccer or football, but in his spare time he would play in a band. He would have had dark brown hair & hazel eyes (like most of my family). We would've been really close, like the siblings you see on tv that are practically best friends. He would've been popular but still talked to everyone and never singled anyone out. He would have an awesome fiance'/wife who all of us would get along with. He would've had some rocky teenage years but would've matured a lot once he got to college. I think he would've went to either EKU or UK and would've been a part of Cru (just like me). Professors and teachers would have loved him. If he was anything like the rest of our family, I bet he also would have been stubborn as a mule. His friends would also be my friends, for the most part. He would have traveled the world by now doing mission trips. His major would be criminal justice. We would bond over music. He would love to dance but be the worst dancer ever. He would have been a huge comic nerd and would geek out with me over superheros. His favorite superhero would be Iron Man. I would go to his apartment every week, with some of my friends, and watch The Walking Dead (yet another thing we would geek out over). He would work at Office Depot in the printing center, part time. He would be in grad school while he was working. He would have dressed like a hipster, hung out at hipster coffee shops, and listened to hipster bands.
I'm sure there is more that I can think of, but that's all of the characteristics I can think of for now. It's weird to think of what life would have been like if my brother were still alive. I wonder if I would be the same person or totally different?
That's all for this week. Have a great weekend, & I'll talk to ya next post!
Live for God & Love for Music!
