Oh my! I was gonna write back sometime 2 weeks ago, and then didn't. And then i was gonna post last week, but didn't. So now, while i have time, I'll post a little something starting with this...
Simeon was my name exchange. I really don't know what all to say except this: as the youngest of five children, he has his own battles to come thru, some of which are a result of his (less than) perfect siblings, but some of which are just sin nature. My littlest brother and I share a strange likeness of personality. Simeon and I are the two who are most outgoing, stubborn, strong-willed and outspoken. When we fight, we fight verbally and emotionally. But we also understand each other in a way that none of the other family does. Often, when we have driven Mom, Dad and Abigail away because of a mood we're in, it's the other one to come and try to bring some sunshine and comfort. As we continue to grow, I'm excited to see what's in store for us. Fighting thru ourselves to get to the other...it's a fight worth fighting. (And because i know he reads this) I love you Simeon! I remember the day you were born. I remember your chubby little checks and being so proud of having another sibling! I know that many times we butt heads, but inside you hold a place that can never be destroyed. You understand me in a different way, and I've no doubt that you would be the first to bale me out of jail if i needed it (not that i would EVER do anything like that ;) ) I would do anything in my power to rescue you and help you. You are so special, never forget that! I love you.
And it's a mere 9 days until I become an adult. funny. i thought you were supposed to be grown up when you were a "grown up"! haha! I guess not! Oh 2011, welcome welcome!
If 2011 is anything like 2010, it's gonna be an amazing year!
And with that, the coffee has finished brewing and I've got places to go and people to see, so i'm gonna log off and post again...later ;)
