Dedicated to . . .

I know it's a bit late for a dedication. I'm also pretty sure it's kind of silly to dedicate a blog. But I'm doing it anyway.

Anyone who knows me figures out pretty quickly that my brothers have been my heroes since I was little. Crazy, adventurous, smart, godly, athletic, funny and talented are just a few words that come to mind when thinking of these four guys . . . oh, and did I mention abilities like burping the alphabet? At our wedding, they did a rendition of "The Sound of Music/Mucus" much to the delight of the guests. As a matter of fact, not many people remember our wedding, but they do remember the reception!

Anyway, it is because of them that I was prepped for doing this blog. Stan & Brad left home when I was only four. Daniel left for college when I was eight, and Ron left five years after that. The way I remember coping with missing them so terribly was to "write" a constant account of my life in my head. I always pretended they could read what I "wrote" and in so doing keep up with my life. I constantly imagined them watching me going through the events in my life as if they were right there.

I guess that's why when I heard about blogging, it seemed so completely obvious that I should do it. I had written in my head for so many years, so why not start actually making it tangible?

And so that is why, at this late date I dedicate these ramblings to my four big brothers!
