Ode to an Awesome Brother

Well, it finally happened . . . Ethan left today to start his mission. He was called to serve in the Washington Everett mission. Its in the western side of Washington state and it includes Seattle. Boy, I have not stopped crying since yesterday. Ethan and I have always been very close. He's going to be an awesome missionary though. Ethan always has included everyone in his life. It didn't matter who you were, what you'd done or were doing. He just considered you a friend. I have learned some valuable lessons from him throughout our lives growing up. I just wish him the best of luck. He's going to be an awesome missionary!!
