(The first picture is when we were little and we would play on our granddaddy's lawnmower... and the other one was taken a couple of years ago at a banquet...)
Today (for 10 more minutes in my time zone) is my baby brother's birthday... (no, i didn't forget - i called him 3 times today and sent him an e-card...) he's growing up... turned 23 today... the last time i was around for his birthday was in 2001... and it kind of got lost in the shuffle of 9/11...
but that's not the point... i think my brother is one of the most amazing people i've ever known... i love him to pieces... i appreciate his feedback... he sees through me, which isn't always fun, but i feel like he knows me... and i love that...
louis is one of the most positive people i've ever met... it's almost like it's fake or put-on... he always has something good to say... but it's not fake or put-on... he genuinely gets excited about what God is doing and being a part of it... he gets excited over the little things and big things alike... and he has a way of seeing the positive when it seems there are only negatives...
his get-up-and-go attitude is amazing... he is solution oriented, but his heart breaks when someone is in pain or suffering... which can be a bad thing... like when he has girls (not the right ones) swooning because he's just a nice guy... because he's kind to everyone...
but enough of the recommendation letter, which is what this post feels like... all of it is just to say that i love my brother very much and i'm very proud of him... distance has kind of damaged our friendship a little bit, i think... and that makes me sad... but it won't be long before we're back in the same time zone... and i can't wait...
