Today is my brother Mitchell's 25th birthday. A quarter century. Wow.
I hate being stuck so far away for this special day. I've missed so much of his growing up. Missed so many occasions in the pursuit of the entrepreneurial dream.
Being 10 years older than your closest sibling gives you a special perspective on them.
I spent so much time as an only child - the whole time wishing I had a brother to hang out with.
When I heard he was coming along I was as ecstatic as a 9yo boy could be. Looking back at all our childhood pictures recently I was reminded how close we've always been. Almost every one depicts me showing him something or helping him do something. Or vice versa.
And then, as he grew up, it became increasingly clear that he was turning into a thoughtful, loving, kind hearted and brilliant kid, and now man. Anything he puts his mind to comes effortlessly to him. Language, Music, 3D modeling, code, and more.
I miss you bro. I'm proud of you. I hope you have an amazing birthday and an amazing year.
