Brittany, Brittany, Brittany where has the time gone by? As I looked at pictures of you today, I realized that you are the one child in your family that has had a sibling relationship with all your brothers and sister. You are the only sister Kelley really knows as a sister. Tara is his sister but also Kristi and Krystal mom.
Whereas you were there for him always. TJ and Ryan lived with your Dad in Georgia. Kelley had you and boy do you love that boy. I remember many times you were willing to take on the giants for him no matter what happened to you. He is one lucky little boy.
One of the saddest memories I have is you thinking you weren’t as good as Tara. As I told you then “this is poppycock” somehow you had gotten it into your head that Tara was “PERFECT” and you could never match up. I hope by now that I have convinced you that Tara isn’t always Perfect (maybe close) and you two are on equal footing. You each shine in different but wonderful ways.
Your relationship with TJ and Ryan is a different one. You had each other through part of your life, then they went to live with your father while you stayed in Colorado. I don’t think any of you knew this was going to happen, but your brothers did prepare you to face the world even if they didn't recognize you had grown-up. I don’t think that was their plan but TJ’s broken nose and Ryan’s Outhouse experience definitely proved that you could take care of yourself. I sometimes worry that you let others take advantage of your warm nature, but also know you will only let it go so far.
Keep on doing what you have done for 20 year and you will do just fine.
