God bless my brother-in-law, because this relationship has been through a lot.
My B.I.L. came into my life when I was about as awkward as they come, and I am not quite sure how either of us survived. I was 12 years old and had yet to endure the life-changing power of braces, so I just need to be explicit that this poor man did not have a confident-filled sister-in-law and I was a literal mess.
He has been there for me when no one else was, even my sister when she moved away for a year. He became one of my biggest supporters and my ice cream, particular Dairy Queen Blizzard, partner. He attempted to teach me how to drive stick-shift, but that did not end well. We have fought many times over the craziest of things, and these normally happen when one or both of us in hungry. He also taught me so much about just being a great human.
Nobody will ever take his place. He has showed me what a real man looks like, not only on the outside, but also on the inside. He loves my sister in such a special way and for that, I am beyond thankful. He not only spoils her, but he takes great care of all of the women in his life, even my mom. Wow, there just are not many out there like him.
Many people think that we have a strange relationship because we are so close and we sometimes hangout without even my sister, but he is my God-given brother. He has helped me see the light when it comes to dealing with mean girls and guys who do not deserve me. He has been there for me when I have been sick with my favorite foods and all of my medicines. He has made sure that I have a good relationship with Jesus and a good church to call home. He has made a lasting impact on my life and I do not know how my family was so lucky to have been given him.
It is common for a sister and a brother-in-law to not get along, but I do not just consider him to be that, because he has gone above and beyond to be such an influential man in my life.
B.I.L. stay cool and in case you did not know, I am thankful that you not only married my sister, but you came into my life right when I needed you.
I love you sugarfoot.
