my two brothers and i have always been close. i think it might have to do with the fact that i was the oldest, i was a girl, very motherly and quite frankly, very bossy. i loved having two younger, pain in the butt brothers and as we got older i continued to feel blessed to have such a close, always-growing relationship with them. they were always there to make me laugh, always had their protective eye on me and just always reminded me how lucky i was to have the family i do.
but this past friday we said goodbye to my little big brother, blake. it's off to the university of san francisco he goes for at least the next 2 years, where he'll finish up his last 2 yrs of NCAA eligibility and complete is Bachelors Degree. and while it's much closer than say, when i went out to UH-Manoa,
it still makes me miss him. Myka and I are excited for the roadtrips and cheap flights we are planning to take to visit him and the college basketball games we finally get to watch in pers
on and not on TV...but in the same sense, my mom's house just felt a little empty when we went up there last night.
it makes me a little sad to think that he won't be so close when the baby girl decides to make
her debut but i know my brother and how well he gets along with kids and i know that he will have his own special little place in her heart as he does in all kid's hearts...no matter where he is.
we're so proud of him and so excited to watch his growth over the next couple years. his passion and determination have gotten him this far and there is no doubt in our minds that the stars are the limit for him.
