Can I just take a minute and talk about my youngest brother? He is absolutely incredible. I love him to death. He constantly makes me laugh, but more than just being funny, he’s a fantastic fellow.

The other night, he was injured in a football game. You have to understand that football is not his sport. He attends an extremely small school, and it’s the sort of ordeal where the athletes in the bunch just rotate jerseys all year. Griffin is truly a runner, but it’s also football season, so he’s paying his dues, so to speak. So the other night, he hyperextends his knee during the game. Bad news for a runner. Shortly after that, his friend was tackled incredibly hard, resulting in a hospital stay. When a runner injures any part of his lower limbs, chances are, he’s out for a bit. I, however, have yet to hear Griffin complain one bit about his knee. Even when I asked him about it, with “tears in his voice”, he said, “I’m not worried about that right now.” All he is thinking about is his friend.

I learned today from my mom that while his knee is still injured, it’s not causing as much pain as expected. In addition to that great news, I hear that his friend, although still in the hospital, is making great progress. When I got home tonight, my heart flooded with joy to see (via his facebook status) Griffin giving all praise to God for being the Healer.That Griffin Metcalf, yeah he’s pretty fantastic, and ladies, he’s single. I’m just warning you, though, that you’d have to deal with me, and no one messes with my brothers. Just saying.
