My baby brother

Well, not baby anymore.. He is sixteen now, and just graduated high school today!!! I am so proud of him!

I remember the day he was born… I was ten, and I was so exited to have another brother. My dad decided that my brother and I couldn't go to the hospital because we hadn't finished our homework... When my sister came back from the hospital, I asked her what he looked like, she said:

-"Ses cheuveux sont tous boucles!! Et, il est tellement clair!! " ("He has curly hair!! And he is light skinned!!").

This became our favorite joke for a long time.. she still doesn't find it funny! I just asked her-lol

He used to make me carry him everywhere we went, until he turned about 5-6. I reminded him of that a couple of weeks ago, and he said that he didn't remember it, which made me kind of sad... From a young age, he was the ultimate daredevil, and weird things kept happening to him. He broke his front teeth (TWICE), got seriously burned with hot water, was poisoned by accident, got run over by a cab… All this happened before he was ten years old!

And then, all of us older siblings, started leaving one by one. Before long it was just him, mom and dad. He started hanging out with a bad crowd, and making some poor decisions...He still has a few issues, but he is doing much better now! He hasn't really decided where he wants to go to college yet. I know that he really wants to be here, with us. At the same time, he was offered a pretty generous scholarship in France...

I will pray for him to make the right decision, and will try to guide him as much as I can. SO PROUD!!!
