115. Today I am grateful for my brother, Craig



Craig on his first birthday

When I think back to my childhood one of the first things that come to mind is the fun I had playing with my twin sister and my brother. Craig is 3 years younger than me and for a long time it was the three of us. One of the games we would play was our own versions of game shows where Craig would be the game show host. We would also play star search where our parents would be the judges. We really need to dig out those videos. On second thought, maybe not ... hahaha. Craig has always been able to, and still does, make me laugh. I have plenty of stories to share with his future wife and children.

One of the things I admire about Craig is his desire and willingness to help others. This past summer I went home to BC for a week and one of the reasons I went was to buy my Moms car. However, I didn’t want to drive back to Edmonton on my own so Craig not only offered to come with me but he drove the whole way. I really enjoyed the conversations we had on that road trip and playing some more childhood games of “I am going on a vacation and I’m bringing with me ...” and taking turns naming countries, movies, etc beginning with each letter of the alphabet.

Today is Craig’s Birthday and I want to wish him a wonderful birthday and let him know that I am grateful that he is my brother.
