Nick

My baby brother is all grown up! Nick joined the Coast Guard last week. It's hard for me to believe he's old enough to do such a thing. He'll be leaving for boot camp sometime in September, and then of course he'll be stationed just about anywhere on earth! It's really strange knowing that Nick won't always be here. I know he's doing what he wants to do, and he'll be great at whatever he puts his mind to, but it's still sad and I will miss that kid more than I think he knows.
In addition to missing him, I'll be mourning his hair! I think that might be the only reason I wish he hadn't joined! It will truly be a loss. ;)
