Zane;

I can't believe it, my little brother is going to be 9! NINE!!! I know its cliche, but it seems like it was just yesterday I was holding him for the first time, looking down on him and going "holy shit, this is my baby brother".
It's just crazy to me that I've watched this little boy grow up, and now he's practically a man!

Okay, I know how psycho that sounds. Obvs nine years old does not equal manhood. But whenever I look at him, I still see this 3 year old little boy, running around with no pants on and making duck noises.
It's so crazy to see how much he's grown, for god sakes he's doing multiplication now! I remember thinking I was hot shit and so grown up because I knew what 5x5 was!
His personality has developed SO much. (which is not always a good thing because he's a little shit sometimes;))

You'd think I was his mother and not his sister, but I love that little boy, and I know he loves me too.
I hope he has the best birthday ever.
