Happy Birthday Ah-Ah

  My kids have the best uncle ever. Well, they think so. And I have to agree. Don’t be fooled by the fact he is their only uncle. That is just a technicality.

And as a brother he isn’t so bad either. Except the time he completely forgot my birthday. But I suppose I had that coming for the time when he was 2 and I pushed him down so hard he blacked out and got a concussion. Or when he asked me to pierce his ear for him and I did so with my earring stud after putting some ice on his ear for a few seconds.  Or the many times I ratted him out to our parents over the years.

But the thing he must be most grateful for? When I was a junior in college he came to visit me at school. He was a senior in high school. Now taking into account that I was in college and possibly not following Jesus quite as I should, I thought I would be a super cool big sister and offer to buy him some alcohol before we went to a party. He requested wine coolers. I bought him beer and saved him from what I can only assume would have been the most embarrassing moment of his life.

Happy Birthday bro. Man, you are getting old…
