Today is kind of a bitter-sweet day. I know I have made a lot of references to that this year...the "bitter-sweets". I am overjoyed that we get to celebrate this birthday with him but I am sad because I know he only has one more year at home with my parents and then he will stretch his wings and fly off to some distant land. Sounds a bit dramatic or cliche but I really believe that he is going to travel the world (or at least the United States) before he settles down somewhere. He just likes adventure and travel too much to stay put in one place for long, at least right now anyway. I can tell you that I will miss him dearly.
Cole is my only brother and has always been different than my two sisters and I. It is hard to explain and if he reads this he will probably be totally mad at me but he was always more sensitive. (Not in a girly sort of way, just a caring sort of way.) To this day, there isn't a time that I see him that he doesn't give me a hug.
He is also so funny! He loves to make people laugh and he is just fun to be around. He has been teaching himself to play the guitar for the past couple of years and he is so talented! I love to hear him play. He is a great uncle to my kids. They just adore him and can't wait for their Uncle Co-Co (as they affectionately call him) to come over again and play with him. I know he will be a wonderful dad someday.
I pray for my brother all the time. That God gives him wisdom and the courage to pursue what God has planned for him. I know God has amazing things planned for him and I can't wait to see him live those out even if it does mean that he is a little further away from us then I would like.
So, I just want to say that I love you Brother and I wish you a very Happy Birthday!
