My Brother

I just said goodbye to one of the best people on this planet, Mark Shepard, as he leaves once again for Iraq in a few hours.

I love this kid in a different way than I've ever loved anybody before. He is the older brother I never had.

I could type an impossibly long blog about why I love him and how amazing he is, but I won't cause no one will read it. Suffice it to say, I would only be a small percentage of the person I am right now if it weren't for Mark.

I love you, Mark. Be safe, cause your little sister needs you.
