Today, my brother graduated from high school. Congratulations today is your day.
It seems crazy. It feels like just yesterday that we were running around playing hid-n-seek and wanting to be pushed on the swings. He is all grown up, ready for the world, even if he is ready or not. It was nice to see him dressed up and hanging out with his friends, even though he hated every moment wearing the tux. You're off to great places, you're off and away.
Today was a hard one to get to though. With the last few days bringing such sadness to our family, especially to Scott, its a day that I know that he just wanted over. I on the other hand wanted to soak it up. Feeling like this was it, our lives will be changing for ever at the end of the summer and we will be a family separated by distance, and homes. You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes, You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
Then I am taken back 4 years to this very night, when it was me all dressed up, not believing that the day had come, for me to walk across that stage. I am so proud of my brother for taking that walk, that I once took too. Even though I know he did it for us, he will soon look back thanking himself that he did. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
