it's so hard to say goodbye...

my brother mitch has now gone back to new york and i miss him. i love my family so much, and it's hard not having him closer. seeing him once a year is just not good enough for me. he's such a unique kid and i love him for that. i admire so much of what he has become. mitch hasn't had the easiest time in life and yet he is able to be so strong. he is independent, hard working, loving, and sometimes seems to not have a care in the world. i loved spending time with him, and can't wait to see him on his own turf in october.
