Tomorrow, my "little" brother graduates from University of Rhode Island. To say that I'm proud is a complete understatement. I have told EVERYONE at work that he's graduating this weekend and how proud I am of him. I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing me talk about this.
I've always admired Chris because he has lived his life to the fullest. Seriously, during high school he was Homecoming King and a three sport althete. For the least coordinated person in the world, I was always his biggest fan. College, he has made a nice group of friends up there in that tiny state. And while he parties a lot, he has learned how to buckle down to get that studying done.
I have watched Christopher grow up into a wonderful young man. He and I used to fight like cats and dogs, but now? We stick up for each other and make sure that nobody, and I mean nobody, hurts the other. My little brother has gotten so many compliments about how well he's raised and I couldn't agree more. He really is a special human being.
And tomorrow, he's closing one chapter of his life, and going to make some amazing changes in this world. I get choked up whenever I think about how he is going to embrace the real world and just rock it completely. I already know I'm going to cry tomorrow because I am so proud of him. And I don't tell him that often, but I really am so proud to be his big sister and see him become the young man he is today. Tomorrow, I will be the one clapping the loudest, with the biggest smile on my face, because my little brother is going to do some amazing things in this world. Just you watch.
