Im so pumped! My cousin Bradley is coming to visit this weekend. He is the closest thing to a little brother I have had. Anyone who doesn’t know, I am an only child. However, I do have a 2nd mom. Its really hard for me to imagine there was a time before Keith & Lynda Taylor. I dont remember it, but I have heard the story a ton of times. My mom & I were new to church. We had been a few times. But one morning, after the church service, my mom was wondering where I had wandered off. Eventually, she noticed I was playing an epic game of tag on the outside front steps of the church with some kids and ‘an older guy’. That older guy… I now call him my uncle Keith. He is like a dad to me. Honestly, one of the most caring, hard working, and wise men in this world (he seriously knows everything!). A real man of integrity. I remember so many great memories of Blue Jay games, vacations, late night chats, Christmas’, Baseball roadtrips, and Keith even took me to father/son camp at Kakeka.

And Keith is the great dad of Bradley! I have known Bradley since he was 1.3 pounds. A miracle child. He is truly special. I remember so many great memories with Bradley too. We really bonded when I got to take care of him for a month, as a toddler. I remember watching Space Jam 4 times in a row because I just couldnt say no… And teaching him to stick his tongue out as he dunked on his fisher price basketball net. And ever since, we have been attached at the hip. If we are in the same house, you can just call one of our names and you will find the other. We are usually playing video games or something like Risk. However, we seem to entertain ourselves no matter what we are doing. This weekend he is coming down to spend the weekend! Im so excited.
