uncle miguel

uncle mike (or miguel as i like to call him) was in town last weekend and we had the privilege of seeing him. here he is holding his niece (and he's quite good at it too.) i'd like to take a moment to note the things i appreciate and respect about my brother. the last few years have been rough for him, to say the least. through it all though, i have seen him mature in many ways and enter adulthood. i think his appreciation for the little things in life has increased as well. he continues to try to take what he's learned and put it into practice on a daily basis. and even though there are still many tough elements in his life, he's seeking to move forward and not live in the past. i have seen our friendship grow, which i am so grateful for. he is wonderful with elise, which leads me to believe he will be wonderful with his own children, someday too. little brother, i am proud of you. keep growing and seeking truth...keep living it...keep moving forward and don't look back except to learn from your mistakes or to smile and remember how far you've come. remember the One who has brought you this far and carried you every step of the way. i love you always.
