The Brothers I Never Had

My cousins, Justin and Hunter, are the brothers I never had.  They're the people who I always take silly pictures with and act ridiculously with at family gatherings.  They're the guys who never ever fail to make me laugh.  I absolutely love them with all of my heart and soul!

Tonight, I went to see the musical "Damn Yankees!" at their high school, Saint Augustine Prep.  Justin had the starring role, and Hunter was a supporting character names Linville.  Hunter was absolutely hilarious every single time he was on stage, I literally laughed out loud watching his expressions and body movements.  Justin was an outstanding Joe!  I felt like such a proud mama sitting in the audience.

For so long, the roles were reversed.  Justin and Hunter were sitting in the audience, while I was putting on the show.  I hope they felt half of the pride and excitement watching me as I experienced watching them.  Both of them are SO incredibly talented.  We are so blessed to have such a talented family, and especially a close-knit family like ours.

I know the seats will switch back and forth between me supporting them, and them supporting me. Justin will be in college this time next year, and I hope he can find a program to get involved in at whatever school he decides to attend.  As for Hunter, I hope he sticks to theater at least until his days are done at the Prep!  I hope they can always remember what I've tried to keep as a motto in my life, NEVER stop dreaming!  You are never too small to have big dreams, and the dreams are never too big to be unachievable.
