Today is the day my younger brother Nick graduates from High School. I cannot believe it has already come upon us... It seems like just yesterday that he was calling me Sissy and he was best known as Nickoness. After 18 long years of him being in my life he is finally becoming an adult, finishing one chapter of his life and diving right into the next.
Nick and I, being only 2 years apart, have had our differences. Like any family we fight. Laughing I look back on one of these fights which ended dramatically in books being thrown which, in turn, caused a dented wall. Those were the crazy days full of excitement, I was a moody teenage girl who was trying to find herself and Nick was, sadly, the receiver for much of that frustration. Thankfully, I grew up and so did he. Now, I have so much love and respect for my brother and I truly believe he will go on to conquer the world.
Nick, I wish you all the luck in the world. You have already grown into an amazing man and I can only hope that some of my advice didn't fall on deaf ears (even if you pretend not to listen). I love you dearly my brother. You survived the craziness (I say that lovingly) that is our family and learned to deal with many a circumstance.
Happy graduation Nicholas Assalone, enjoy this moment as you turn the page and head off into the amazing real world (well part of it). I love you.
