He’s my brother!
That’s right… MY little brother (well one of them, I have two!) is featured in a BIG way on the blog tonight. He’s 18 and going to be graduating very very soon. We were slated to do his senior pictures in the fall but well, things just didn’t happen that way. So here he is. I remember SOOO vividly the day he was born (10 weeks premature, might I add… which was alot back then). I remember going to see him every day in the NICU while he grew strong enough to come home. I remember watching him grow, going to little league games, wanting to beat up little kids who weren’t nice to him. I CAN NOT BELIEVE HE IS GETTING READY TO GRADUATE! How is that even possible?? I feel like it wasn’t that long ago I GRADUATED! And here is someone, who is almost like my OWN child, and he’s graduating. I love him dearly, he means the world to me and I hope he LOVES his senior pictures. So I’ll leave you to the pictures… and maybe a little from The Hollies. Enjoy!
The road is long
With many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where
Who knows where

But I’m strong
Strong enough to carry him
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
So on we go

His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We’ll get there

For I know
He would not encumber me
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother

If I’m laden at all
I’m laden with sadness

That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another

It’s a long, long road
From which there is no return
While we’re on the way to there
Why not share
And the load
Doesn’t weigh me down at all
He ain’t heavy he’s my brother

He’s my brother
He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother
I’m so proud of you Shaker-ton. 
Congratulations

I love you and am always here for you!
