Family || Coming & Going

My life has been rather busy recently. My sister and her family are visiting from Canada this month, and it is really nice to get to spend time with them. My older, 20 year old brother is shipping out to boot camp this Tuesday, and so we have had a going away party already. I am not looking forward to his swear in. I didn't think it would be this hard to see him go. I wasn't always that close to him, but in the last 5 years our relationship has definitely gotten a lot better. I know what to ignore and what to joke about. There are some things I can say to him, that no one else gets. Which is nice. I will miss Nathanael a lot, but I will be praying that in this time, his relationship with God grows stronger, and he doesn't forget that God's got his back. I am very proud of my big brother.
