I'm not really sure that I can put together the right words to tell you how thankful I am to have you as a brother, but I guess I'll try. Since it's your 21st birthday and all. Just this once ;)
From the time you were really little, it was already evident that the Lord had given you a caring heart and a willingness to serve others. Even as a child and, for awhile, the youngest in the family, you were always helping out. Now, at 21, you are one of the most compassionate people I know, and I love seeing the ways you live this out. Whether you're working across the street in the ER or across the ocean in Haiti, you are always quick to do all you can to care for those in need.

You also have a ridiculously awesome sense of humor and can always make me laugh. Your goofy accents, splendiforously unique words, and willingness to just be downright silly to get a smile ensure that life is always more fun when you're around.
You exemplify I Timothy 4:12 so well: "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." The way you seek the Lord through His Word and your desire to honor Him in all that you do frequently remind me to do the same.
You build crazy amazing things. Despite the fact that this is a newly discovered talent of yours, the incredible pergola/pallet swing in our backyard is evidence that you gotz skillz, yo. (Sorry. Couldn't resist. Moving on.)
You are an incredibly hard worker (and always have been). When you decide to do something, you do it wholeheartedly and don't give up. Becoming EMT-certified your senior year of high school is just one example of many...
I could probably go on and on, but I think I can safely speak for everyone who's ever met you in saying that you're an amazing kid. (Shush. I don't care if you're 21. I will call you a kid forever.) I am super duper proud of you and am so incredibly blessed to have you as my brother.
I love you lots!!
