my family is pretty big. since my parents each have siblings who have had at least two children each, lets just say "get togethers" are never boring. i have the most cousins on my dad's side. but on my mom's side, i have one cousin who i have always been the closest to, davis.
pretty much my brother. know everthing about him and have always looked forward to seeing him every chance i get. when we were younger, i saw him more than i do now. but i would still consider us pretty close. i have good memories with him. holidays-me and him on the couch watching tv. summer-us laying by the pool listening to country music, late nights in my room-reviewing his spanish presentation and lunch every sunday together since we were born. we do alot together and i've always thought of him as "my davis" my little boy.like i never thought he'd grow up.
however...
today before lunch, he came into the living room and sat down beside me and didn't really make eye contact. i just jokingly poked him and when he finally looked at me...there it was. a black eye. you see since he's gotten into highschool, davis is what you would consider, a pretty boy. he's got the looks and he's really good at sports (aka all the girls love him) so lets just say...sometimes he can be a little cocky. i think this is gonna be a problem his next two years in hs. but apparently this other boy wanted to fight him this past week and eventhough you think to yourself he just needed to walk away from the situation, i was somewhat proud of him for sticking up for himself, even if it did result in a "shiner." however, when my family and i started asking questions, his response was one that could only be expected by him "don't worry, its not like he's not sore in some places." thats my boy. i hate when people mess with my family. especially him, after all he's been through with his mother having cancer and him not really knowing how to deal with it and having to worry everytime she goes to the doctor, that it might come back. its just that you never know what someone is going through. so now, all i want to do is go to his school tomorrow and follow him around haha i'm sure he'd love that.
geeez, they grow up fast.
