I Found a Card...

Yesterday I was going through some old boxes and came across some of my college graduation cards. My favorite of course was this winner from my brother. If there was ever any question in my mind that my brother was the BEST brother in the world ...IF being the key word...that question was cancelled.
The card read:
FRONT:
Sister, Just by being your unique and wonderful self, you show the world what you can achieve...
INSIDE:
I couldn't be more proud of you.
Happy Graduation with Love
HE WROTE:
Larissa,
This card is exactly what I wanted to say! I don't know if you know just how much that I look up to you and always have, but it is alot! You are so amazing and I know God is going to use you more than you know. I am so thankful for the time we've had at CBC, but even more so as siblings growing up. I pray that we always remain close no matter the miles or anything else in between us. For now, though, I want to say Congratulations for all of your accomplishments. Don't be afraid to take risks for God or let him take you past your "incapabilities". I am so proud to call you my sister and to see you graduate on into full-time ministry. What a fulfilling life. I know you will touch many lives and I know that God is smiling proud as can be upon your life today! I love you!
Landen



And I loved him soooo much...
Goodness...I was so proud of him...always. I hope he knew how much. I wish I could tell him again. I guess that is why I love posting on this little blog...because I want everyone to know how amazing Landen really was.
He pushed me to go beyond what I thought I could do and fall on Jesus and get back up with His strength!
March 1st is his birthday. It's funny how the heart knows that before your mind registers. Cloudy weather does not seem to help either but all is well and I will see him again soon. Until then...
I will live life to the fullest!
