So, today is a pretty big day in our house, my little brother is officially a TEENAGER!! MAN, do I feel old! I still can clearly remember that night in January when he and his brother Shane came to us, just two scared little boys. Jack...how do I even describe him?? Let's see...he's a spitfire for sure, he is very loud(and prone to make strange noises), while he can be super aggressive at times, he's also super sweet at other times, he definitely has the "teenager mentality" mastered to a T, he's athletic, he's very smart, he loves his little brothers a lot, like a LOT a lot, and he is actually a lot like me(which is why we are constantly driving each other crazy)! We are both super loud, and quite unpredictable at times, neither one of us can sit still, we just express it in different ways, I "jitter" my left leg at times, and he has a tendency to bounce balls. In other words, we are both ADHD kids, except mine is diagnosed, and his isn't(yet...). Anyways, it is so clear to me that God didn't just randomly pick a name out of a hat to add to our family, but he did it carefully, and with a purpose. No matter how many times over the years I have wanted to smack him, strangle him, etc., God has taught me a lot about self-control, patience, love, and through the years, the struggles that I have faced with Jack have worked to help me mature and grow into the young woman that I am today, and I am so happy for that!
<3 Always,
Rose
