Like all things truly breathtaking, it happened when I wasn't paying attention. My baby brother Tanner grew up.

Your brother sounds awesome. It sounds like you have a lot to be proud of.

What a beautiful tribute to your brother - and it's neat to be getting to know your family through you and your sister's entries! So glad to hear he's changed his role on the team, too - they're starting to see a lot of former school athletes with brain issues.
