Day 29: Who is your hero?

Yes, I skipped "Day 28: What stresses you out?" because yesterday, EVERYTHING was stressing me out & although I could've just vented about what all that entailed, I figured it'd be better to just skip it & move on.
This one may be my favorite...my hero? My baby brother, Blake :)
Blake has been my little buddy since the very beginning. He may be 6 years younger than me & be outnumbered 3-1 by his older sisters, but Blake is one special young man (I can't believe he'll be 20 on Monday either!).
He was never the "obnoxious" little brother that my friends always seemed to have (their words, not mine) & no matter what it was, Blake just liked to be included - we'd go spend an hour or two - just the two of us - at Target while he looked at Hot Wheels or grab Frosty's from Wendy's late at night & of course, anytime the Longhorns are on, whether we're able to watch it together or not, we still text each other game info every weekend :)
So why is Blake my hero? Because of the man he's grown into. He was alone for years while my parents were separated & my sisters & I had moved out of the house, but he kept on going, trying to be the best young man he could be. With everything that he's been through, he's always been a hard working man of integrity. He treats the ladies in his life with the utmost respect & even when things get tough, he turns to God rather than blaming Him for whatever may be going on.
I'm just so proud of my Bubba ♥
