Memory Lane

Oh my freaking gosh!!!!! I cannot believe it. My brother is graduating in June. MY BABY BROTHER! I feel like just yesterday he was telling me about his first little crush and in about two weeks he turns into a full fledge legal adult. That is so scary and makes me feel old. I can't imagine how my parents feel about it though. I mean they are older than I am (love ya guys). Anyway, I just remember when he was a wee little rug rat that would chase me around, bite me, yell at me, and do all the wonderful little things little brothers are great for. As we got older though our relationship changed (slowly due to guy's lovely maturity speeds). We got really pretty close when our parents divorced. Both our parents at one point or another were asking the wrong and very hard things of my brother and me. My brother and I just kind of made this unspoken pact that we are there for each other whenever something bad goes down even if we are not on speaking terms at the moment. He helped me through my dad's small bout of drinking and I helped him with his arguments with both my parents. It's nice to know I have someone I can vent to who realizes at the same time I'm being totally ridiculous, but still lets me vent knowing that it needs to come out somewhere and somehow. It's safest with each other because then we don't hurt other people by our ridiculousness.

Anyway, with his graduation coming up there is always the opportunity to write a little something for him in the senior pages in the back of the year book. I picked out a picture of us being all friendly and having fun and I wrote him a nice little poem. I'll share the pictures, but the poem not just yet I don't think. I don't want him to actually decide one day that he will actually read my blog and come across it. I didn't even know he was doing one for me and I really hope it is the same with him. Although I'm sure he expects it because he did one for me. He can be so grateful and thoughtful one minute, but the next he is so self absorbed. Oh well. Guess that is how the cookie crumbles.

Well laundry doesn't do itself (I really wish it did) and I have not done it in a while so it's going to take some time. Then I get to pack because I'm going home (well Sunday. Staying with a friend until then). Sunday is the awards banquet where I get all the awards (like 2) that I won from my cool summer internship. So until next time...
