My Younger Siblings

What I see in each of them

My Younger Siblings
Susan Clegg Bruder

Now for my younger siblings, you could call this part two but it's about what I see in my younger siblings. There are plenty of things, but I am only going to list one that I think is important and that I see.

Matthew- his smile. What I see to this day are the smiles that Matthew is still able to bring to people’s faces, even though he has been gone, the ripple effect that he has had on people is everlasting.

Jeffery- contentment. What I have witnessed throughout the years is how easily content and happy Jeffery can be. Regardless of his special needs, it does not take much to make him content and happy. He taught my other sibling’s and I patience, but also I realized that if he can be happy with so little than so can I.

Kevonte- potential. What I see in Kevonte is potential that is waiting to be unleashed, waiting to be let go. I have always encouraged him that he can do anything he sets his mind to and that all he needs to do is go do it.

Hannah- kindred heart. Hannah, though she can be a pain at times, I have always seen a kind heart. Behind all the bravado, there is a kindred heart that wants nothing more than for everyone to get along and be happy. In a sense Hannah is the peacekeeper.

Skylar- caring nature. Life throws at us many things that we don’t want or expect to happen. Skylar, sometimes like Hannah, has this chip on her shoulders but deep down behind all of that, there is something special. For Skylar, that special thing is that she honestly does care and though she has a hard time admitting it, I have always known it was there.

Brandon- a lot like curious George. Though it can get annoying playing twenty questions constantly with him, Brandon has a good heart and a good mind and he just lets his curiosity get the best of him. I have seen this in him for as long as I can remember, which would always keep me from getting mad about all the questions he would throw at me.

These are only a few things that I see and notice within my younger siblings, there are many more but I chose these because to me they are my favorite parts about each of them. With that, I have always tried to encourage all of them to do well, do what is right and understand how blessed we all are to be a part of this family.

I may not have passed down many lessons and such that I learned from all our older siblings, but I do hope that my younger siblings have picked up least one thing from me. For example, my little sisters witnessing how I treat my wife and how I will do anything for her, even wrestle a bear as long as she is safe and happy, I would knock that bear out. I hope that they see how I treat her and that they would find guys that would treat them the same way and if they don’t I will break those guys legs off. Same thing with my little brothers in wanting them to understand how they should treat their future significant others.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
