Stinky is my little brother. His real name is Will, I honestly don't know how this nickname came to be, bit for as long as he or I can remember I have called him stinky.
I came to a terrifying realization recently as I was visiting my grandmothers house. I have not seen my little brother since Christmas, but he was at my grandparent's house this summer and she measured him on the door where we have all been measured since 1990. When I last saw my Stinky he was at least and inch or two shorter than me. When I looked at the door I saw to my horror that he was THREE inches taller than me. THREE. Are you doing the math here? That means that in less than a year he has grown FOUR inches. FOUR.
My whole little family is growing up. It's happening fast. Really fast. I have to get used to it whether I like it or not.
This picture is my favorite picture of him I have ever taken. He is a ham, but I caught him before he knew I had the camera out. This is the way I know him, love him and miss him.
