Tomorrow


Tomorrow, I am dropping Big Bro off at college. Tomorrow, Big Bro will begin experiencing life without me there all the time. I know it will not sink in right away, but he's going to miss me. Even though I've made his life somewhat crazy for the last eleven years, he's going to miss me being around. He might miss Mom and Dad and his morning drives to school with Big Sis, but he will miss me the most. Tomorrow, Big Bro will begin a new journey that I have helped to prepare him for. Someday he will thank me for helping him to become the special person he is today. Tomorrow, Mom, Dad and Big Sis might cry (Mom will), but I won't because I won't really understand that Big Bro is leaving to become an adult. Even though I may not cry, I will miss him every time I see his jeep in the driveway and yell "Geegan's home!" (For all of my friends who haven't met me yet, I can't say Stephen, it comes out Geegan.) Tomorrow, Big Bro may be called a freshman who is arriving at AU to expand his horizons which is true, but what AU will soon learn is Sammy's Big Bro is there to expand their horizons too. So, to Big Bro and to all of my friends who will be experiencing their "tomorrows" in the next few weeks, good luck and make a difference so all of our tomorrows are better ones.
