Day 5: My Siblings
8:00 AMChadam, brother, my very best friend. I honestly could never put into words how close we really are. We are 13 months apart to the very day (I'm 10/29/92 he is 11/29/93), and we grew up being the only constant we ever had. I would never wake up my parents when I had nightmares, I would wake him up. We would wrestle each other and fight like crazy as kids, but get over it immediately. I remember I wasn't much of a fan of these wrestling matches when he got much bigger and stronger than little old me. Chadam is easily the funniest person I know, and he would do absolutely anything for me. He's also really athletic and super guy-ish, but he will watch chick flicks all day with you. In fact, The Vampire Diaries is one of his favorite shows, (You can probably thank him growing up with a sister for that ;)). So many people meet us and wish they were as close as we were with their siblings. Currently he is stationed in Okinawa, Japan and it's been really crappy not having him right down the hallway or anywhere close these past couple years, but we spend many hours Facetiming or talking on the phone. I just miss him so much.
Kris is my other brother. He is my step brother but I consider him much more than that. He's such a punk little kid at times but I have the greatest memories with him. Whether it's busting raps on long car rides, staying up late and drinking beer, him always popping his head through my door for as long as it took for me to notice. We became extra close these last couple of years and then I got married and moved away and I miss you like crazy too!
I also have two other step brothers, Corey and Mack. As well as a half brother named Sam, whom I've never met. My dad's fiance also has two kids of her own, Jessica and Tyler.
I love you all.
