Dear Grant,
Happy (belated) 20th birthday. I'm still trying to make my camera communicate with my computer so I can send you that video I filmed all around Buenos Aires, which makes me wish you were here to fix all of my technology problems. But then again, if you were here, I wouldn't be making you a movie, or writing a blog post in your honor.
Seriously, where to start? I feel like I've already said most things I can say about you in public without 1) embarrassing you and 2) depending on an acrostic...Actually, that gave me an idea...what if I made an acrostic of things that would embarrass you?
I can hear your eyes rolling: "just- no!" So I won't.
What I can say is how very proud I am of you, and how very thankful I am to have you as my brother and default best friend- and no, that's not lame. It has been fun cheering you on from afar during your first year of college and I'm glad that you've never been "too cool" to not shoot me an email or call (even when we spend the last five minutes, without fail, making faces and sending the 'ninja' emoticon over skype).
You're clever, creative, proper, logical, generous, and hard-working. Surprisingly funny and uncommonly insightful, you're also one of the most patient people I know- probably a response to the patience-taxing childhood I put you through. You're lucky I don't have access to the family photos right now...
At any rate, I just wanted to let you know (not in a meme...yeah) how neat you are. Because, you know, how neat is that?
Miss and love you,
Jill
