Meet Shawn.

Shawn is {one of} my handsome older brother {s}. He is wise, funny, and the most thoughtful person I know. Shawn is 7 years older than me, but has never let the large age gap come between our relationship. Despite our different stages in life, he has been my closest friend since I was oldest enough to realize I had friends.

Over the years, I’ve learned many life lessons from Shawn, including but not limited to: popcorn at the movie theater is never a question; Letterman is the only late night talk show that matters; telling a boy you just aren’t interested is better than avoiding him; Justin Timberlake is the man; and Gator fans are the most obnoxious fans in all of college football.

As I have grown, and struggled through life with fears, heartbreak, stress, and unhappiness, Shawn has constantly reminded me of the only thing that matters- I am the daughter of the one true King. No matter my situation, seek first His kingdom, and my life will thrive with joy.

Thank you big brother for you unwavering encouragement and wisdom.

Have a lovely Monday, everyone!
