my brother

my little brother is graduationing from high school on my dead husbands birthday. it seems odd and i know it sounds odd but that's what day it falls on.

i remember when he first started school. he came home on the first day and asked me how long do i have to go to school and why? its boring. i looked at him and told him until your 18 mag. he was not a happy boy. he made it through elementry with out any major injuries. the same with middle school. high school however brought football and wrestling.

his first year of football went off without any major issues. his 2nd year went fine but that year he found wrestling. at his first away match he broke his hand. he won the match but it was broken. he also lettered in football that year. his junior year again went off with out an injury til wrestling once again. this time he got 3 stiches on his lip thanks to him biting his own lip. this year his final year of high school football the worse thing could have happened. well 2 of the worse things one his brother in law died and 2 he broke his foot at an away game.

one of his coaches said the doomed words whose going to step up if h gets hurt. the next play he broke is toe which caused a major brake in his foot. his football career was ended with 4 more games left in the season. don't get me wrong we did good playing without him but if we would have had him we might of went to the finals. we played hard and we went out hard.

so in a few weeks he follows in the foot steps on his big sister. he will be a high school grad. and i just want to say good job mag. i love you and i'm proud of you.
