Bambi.

I'm taking a break from the Haiti updates to talk about someone I love so incredibly much.

One of the greatest blessings in my life is being a big sister to a few amazing people.  I can't tell you how awesome my siblings are, but I will try.  And today, we are talking about this little guy:

My little brother leaves for Basic Training tomorrow.  And I won't be able to see him until December, which breaks my heart.

William, you are amazing.  You seize life with this incredible zeal.  You are so compassionate and loving.  You are brave and confident.  You have all of Alex's best qualities, which brings me to tears.  

You make me so proud and I am so blessed that I get to be your sister.  I cannot wait to see all of the great things that you will do with your life.

Thank you for your strong desire and willingness to serve our country. 

I love you so very much, my baby brother.
