Subject: Congrats To The Grads

Hey Brothers---the big day tomorrow. Didn't want you to think I forgot your big day. It has been on my calendar for weeks. Sorry about not messaging but be patient with me for a bit longer.

Well Joel, Kyle and Sean...nothing 'little' anymore with you dudes. Your days as boys are ending and 3 young men emerging as adults tomorrow. You don't have to loose all the 'boy' in you however---think a little oozes out of me from time to time---but at 18 and grads you're in a whole new world and I hope you grab every shining star & swing with all the joys of opportunities. You dudes gave me the honorary title of big brother and words can not describe how much that pleased me. If mom or dad had been blessed with a 3rd one, I want each of you to know I would have been proud of any one of you as a brother.

Had my share of big brother ass chewings, probably needed them, from Rick over the years and hope you dudes realize that when I jumped you or ass chewed it was because I came to know you better and wanted nothing to ruin or screw up for you. You 3 by age are still 'younger brothers' but no way do I see any of you as little in any way---damn proud dudes and happy for you for all that tomorrow represents.

From things you've told, I know all 3 of you were experienced pushing button with your folks and maybe even some teachers/principal but tomorrow I bet your parents and grandparents will be busting their buttons with pride for each of you as you walk the stage for your diplomas and re-tussle the tassle on your caps to signify you are now HS grads and alums.

I guess in a way you 3 could say last Friday your dads gave you a ritual of passage straight to the seat of your wisdom that gives you something to remember about your senior year and how you passed from boy to truly young men. At least Kyle & Joel, you made it through senior year without the principal's paddle; wish I could say the same for you Sean. In years ahead, you'll laugh likely about how you dads could still tan your 18 y/o butts and tell your own kids about it some day.

Well, got stuff awaiting me tonight but CONGRATS again.
