This guy right here will officially be a husband come this weekend. I am beyond proud of the man he has become, and let’s just say he and MB will have beautiful and hilarious children one day. When that time comes, I am going to be the luckiest aunt there ever was.
All of you that have siblings, I know at times you had wished they would have fallen off the planet. I did that many times with this joker. I would fear my friends coming over to play because I knew he would annoy the poo out of me and try to make himself seem too cool, so my little friend would fall madly in love with him. Then there were those days where he loved to use me as his wrestling dummy and choke slam me if I walked through the room where he would be.
And thennn, there were those times that outweighed all of those pestering moments. I knew how much he had really meant to me when we dropped him off at college and boo-hooed in the back seat for the 1 1/2 hr drive home. He has been that “older brother protective figure”, yet has been there for me during the times I failed to help me learn and help me grow. He carries the most joy I have ever seen in anybody, and never fails to make me die laughing even in the moments where I am raging in anger towards him.
Cliff, I am not sure if you ever even read these, but thank you for all those sweet memories, and I know from here on out, the memories are going to be even sweeter. I love you and am so so proud of you.
