I am Your Brother




Every moment here is memorable, whether it is getting sick, playing with the kids, or organizing clothes. Every moment here counts. I have been blessed in so many ways here and have so many stories to tell.
Yesterday was Jerrak's Birthday and he turned 7 years old. Melissa and I made a cake for him to share with his class and, let me just say, making a cake with Melissa is very entertaining. We made a huge mess. We had to make the cake by scratch which wasn't very easy. We put these green sprinkles in the cake which Mama Jewel thought were peas. All in all the kids enjoyed it and it was a fun afternoon.
Later that evening Annie, Melissa, Sara Zhou and I went for a walk but ended up riding bikes on campus. They don't have very big bikes so I ended up with a little 4 year old's bike that still had training wheels. Grady got a good laugh when he saw me coming around the corner riding it. Sara and Annie had the big bikes so they kept riding them back and forth so Grady, Melissa, and I decided to play Ninjas or Spies. I am not really sure what to call it, but we made Grady's day when he saw us rolling on the grass and then just freezing for no reason.
During that evening, when I came outside to join some people for UNO, Grady saw me and said, "Who are you?" and I looked at him and said," Who are you?" He grabbed my hand and said, "I am your brother." I will never forget that moment.
