Week 7: Bupkis

Like all things truly breathtaking, it happened when I wasn't paying attention. My baby brother Tanner grew up. One day, I'm taking him to the park, tailing him closely as he scales the slide that's several times his height to ensure his safety, and the next he is 15, taller than me, and asking my sister and I for advice on how to become more

Oh, gosh. You just made me love our brother more than I already do. I didn't think that was even possible. This kid. We are so lucky to have him in our lives.

I love him so much. And you.

It's funny to see our younger siblings grow up. My younger brother just turned 27 this past October. I remember when he was born, and it seems so crazy to think of him as an adult.

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

It is so crazy!

And he is super awesome. I'm so proud.

Thanks for reading!

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.

Thank you so much! I am so proud that he has changed his team role!
