I am the oldest of 3, and the only girl. We are about 2 years apart, so we got to play a lot together when we were kiddos.
Eventually when we reached the teenage years we drew a bit apart. But when he reached college, life had different plans. We were together in some difficult situations. I got to be his pal. And I got to see him grow into a young man... first hand.
The day before his graduation, was the day I gave birth. Obviously I missed the event. In just a few days Mini-Me turns 3. My brother has always been a dedicated guy. I remember him studying on weekends. Always had a to-do list. His writing impeccable. A year ago he moved to Indiana, and as happy as I was for him I knew I would miss him dearly.
Some of us go through phases in our lives when we ask ourselves where we are... what is our purpose... are we living to our full potential? Personally, I've had several of those and I expect to have more. I don't consider them a bad thing. I see it as a way to reevaluate my life and see how I can improve. I think my brother is going through one of those phases. And I think that being "alone" makes it worse. So this post is for him...
Lil' Brother:
Words cannot express how proud I am of you. Of what you are and everything you have achieved. I admire your determination, how you want everyone to get along, and how naturally funny you are. We might be a lot of miles apart but you are definitely in my heart and in my thoughts. I want you to know that God has a plan with all of us. And all those things that trouble your heart and worry you will be put to rest. That all those things in your to-do list, you will achieve... maybe not when you want to, how you want to, or what you have in mind. But that does not mean it will not be great, or amazing. Actually, it will not be anything short of awesome.. because that's what you are: TOTALLY AWESOME!! Never, ever, stop dreaming big. Remember to always shoot for the moon... even if you miss you land among the stars... Hang in there. I Love you!
