In one of his letters he sent me he said "I know you want to protect me big sis, but its time for your baby brother to spread his wings." lol. So true, I'm so Proud of him!
I will also never forget something he said in one of his letters to my little Tegan..."Give Tensley a big hug and kiss for me too. Take good care of your little sister. I know you'll be a great big sis because your learning from the best." Tear!
