Triston Michael =)

Today's "Tribute Tuesday" post goes to my oldest nephew, Triston! ❤

T-man, you are awesome because...

• You're a great big brother to Carter, Jace, Kyndal, Mason, and Bryson!
• You humor me and Mamaw and pose for tons of pictures without complaining! lol
• You're fun and funny, and you have a good and kind heart! =)
• You're really smart, and you have big dreams for your future!
• You know and remember ALL THE THINGS about every Apple product!
• You love making and editing videos on your GoPro, and I hope you keep practicing that!
• I'm counting on you to invent an app even better than Flipagram someday. lol
• You won't eat or drink after anyone, and that reminds me of someone I know. ;-)

• You like to learn, and you're good at reading and following the directions, as evidenced in the Easter pic with Rach above. lol
• You like to read, you process things through writing, and you enjoy having some time to yourself, and I totally get that.
• Out of Grandad, Babah, Mamaw, Bampa, Rachael, Carter, Jace, and Kyndal, you are the only one I can relate to as the oldest sibling... I understand the unique pressures and all the goods and bads that come along with that role!
• You are sensitive to the feelings of others, and you tend to put their needs above your own, which shows a lot of empathy and maturity.
• You're only 11, but you've been through some difficult things, and you have handled them as well as anyone could!
• You love Jesus, and I know He will guide you and guard your heart through every season as you grow up!!  (And I'll be here for you, too, along with the rest of the family.)

Thanks for being one of my favorite kids on earth!  I'm excited to see you grow up and become the honorable man God made you to be!! ❤
