My Little Brother

It has been awhile since I have posted and figured my time is due. My little brother had his Orem High graduation on the 30th of May and I always thought graduations were SOO boring! But I loved every minute of it. I did everything I could to make sure that I got off work early so that I could be there and support him and it was so worth it. While I was sitting there during the program I realized... he's going to be leaving on his mission soon. Of course I have thought about it but now it is real to me. Tears came to my eyes and I haven't stopped thinking about it since. That is going to be the hardest day for me.

I am going to miss the 3-4 phone calls a week to give me an "update" on whats going on with school, friends, girls, etc. The warm hugs that I always receive from him when I come over for weekly family dinners. His LOUD music when he's playing his electric guitar.. I could go on and on. I consider Michael one of my best friends and I can't believe he is growing up so fast.

I am really amazed what he has turned out to be. His desire to do the right thing, how humble he is when he easily could think very highly of himself, his sense of humor always puts a smile on my face, and anyone who knows him knows that he is a good example to anyone who is around him. It's going to be so hard to see him go but just like he always has.. he's going on to do what the Lord wants him to do. I love you Michael and I will miss you.
