*** FIFTEEN***

How did it come to THIS? Brandon has turned FIFTEEN! Gasp... It seems just like yesterday that I was waking his Dad and saying " Honey, it's time..."

Brandon, who gave me hope & strength thru some of the darkest days. Brandon who never lets a night go without texting "night" to me.. he calls me everyday when he's home from school...he spends all his weekends & vacations here...but O how I miss my Munchkin during the school week.


Speaking of school. Have I told you that Brandon is going to Collegiate? He is. He wanted to. Applied all on his own. Gathered recomendations from all of his teachers and sailed thru the daunting ( to me ) applications and interview. He will complete High school in TWO years... Woha Doggies.. and the remaining two "highschool" years are spent attending the local community college for an associates degree. So, in other words, when he finish's High School he will have an associates degree already. BOOYA. The word PROUD seems pretty small.


Brandon is the worlds BEST Big Brother. Unending paitence. Loves the Peeps. He is almost another parent. He watch's them, plays with them, refills sippy cups, puts in the car, holds them in the pool, watch's movies with them and everything in between. a better Older Brother can not be found. Anywhere. I promise.

Fifteen years of just the best of Life. Brandon is so much more than just a child. He is growing into an amazing person, an amazing man.

Brandon is MY Hero. He always has been. He always will be.
