Hank Shaw: My "Broseph"
If you do not know my brother you are seriously missing out. He is the funniest person alive. I swear. He is so much funnier than any movie star or comedian. This kid will make you crack. Some of my favorite memories of him include:
1. His traps. Growing up Hank would constantly set "traps" for me. He would hide ropes under my bed so that when I walked near my bed he could pull a rope and tie up my feet. This phases lasted a long time, but it always made me laugh.
2. When we were about 11 and 6 years old we were obsessed with the tv show All That. So we made our own version. I will never forget the sketch where Hank dressed up as Detective Dan. He was adorable and very funny. I am telling you, this kid has amazing comedic timing.
3. I loved sharing our summers together growing up. Even though we did not always get along, when we did it was such a blast. We would play legos for days from sunrise to bedtime.
4. I loved and still love jumping on the trampoline in the summer with a bottle of dishwashing soap and a water hose. Dangerous? Yes. But so much fun. You can barely even stand up!
5. My absolute favorite vacation was when we went to Disney World a few years ago. I think I was around 20 and he was about 16. We stayed for extra magic hours which meant we could stay in the parks until about 3 am. He and I rode Splash Mountain, in the rain, with ponchos on, 8 times in a row. Does not get any better than that folks.
6. My brother does some CrAzY magic tricks.
On a serious note though, Hank is an amazing guy. He has a heart of gold and the faith of a warrior. He truly knows what it means to be a disciple of Christ. I am so proud of everything he has accomplished and who he is. I cannot wait to see what becomes of him as the years continue. He will be a remarkable husband and amazing father someday. He is an inspiration to me and I love him so much.
Hank I am so proud of you. You are a man of noble character.
Love,
Sis
