Sixteen

It's official. I feel old. I always think my younger siblings are way younger than they are and then one of them has a birthday and I'm reminded that they too are growing up. 

Today is Ian's sixteenth birthday. Sixteen! He is such a young man.

Today I'm thankful for Ian's life and the joy he brings to those he's around.

I'm thankful for the care he shows and his willingness to help anyone who needs it.

I'm thankful that today we can celebrate the work God did in his life so that he is still with us today.

Ian, I'm thankful that you are my little brother!

Happy birthday!

Hope you have a wonderful day celebrating the 16 years of life God has given you!

I love you!
