My Little Man...

Today I am thankful for my little brother Christopher. Ever since he was born, he has been a big part of my life. I have always been extra protective of him. And we have always had a very special relationship. He was a big reason why leaving for college was so difficult. But he was also a big reason why even my worst days weren't so bad. He called me every night to check up on me. And he would tell me about his day. He's one of the greatest kids ever. Anyone who knows him, would agree. He always knows how to put a smile on your face. And he's the reason why the saying "kids say the darnest things" exists. This kid will make you laugh for days!!

One of my favorite things about him is his immensely big heart and the wisdom he has for a 10 year-old. I said I was protective of him, but now that he is older, he is way more protective of me, especially when it comes to boys. He's pretty good at giving me advice and knows when something is wrong. Everyday he never seizes to amaze me. Yesterday for example he noticed I had not eaten anything and he went into the kitchen to prepare me what he called a surprise. And it was a great surprise. He prepared me a delicious plate of fruit which we shared and enjoyed with a conversation. It's those little things that he does that set him a part and make me look at my life and realize how blessed I am to be his older sister. There's no doubt in my mind he is going to grow up to do great things with his life. I just wish he wasn't growing up so fast! Love my little man <3
