1:17
Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Have Faith Let It Begin.
1:20
Today is November 18th, 2024.
1:25
Happy birthday to my big sister, Leanne. I call her Lulu. You know,
1:30
having a big sister is always fun.
1:34
Being the little brother of three other siblings is never, ever easy.
1:40
It's kind of cool because you get spoiled a lot, I'm not going to lie.
1:45
Having to look up to three individuals, especially my sister,
1:49
was not so easy growing up because they were all talented.
1:54
One was in the performing arts and two were professional athletes.
1:59
Yeah, my sister was an amazing athlete. She did it all from throwing javelins
2:04
to jousting, winning gold medals.
2:07
Of course, scoring over a thousand points in basketball in a season.
2:12
And yeah, I'll tell you, you know, or record season, I should say, seasons.
2:18
She has always been someone to look up to.
2:21
The great thing about my sister is that she never made it known that she was good.
2:27
She knew she was good inside, but she wasn't one to flaunt it.
2:31
She wasn't one to walk around and act like she was the best.
2:35
You know what she was the best at? Being a big sister. You know what she was
2:39
really, really good at? Being a great daughter.
2:42
You know what she was really, really good at? Becoming a teacher.
2:45
And over the years, watching her grow, I've known more and more now,
2:50
she's not only all those things, but an amazing mother and wife.
2:55
She has been so good. She's been an instrumental part in our family.
3:00
Even though she lives so far away
3:02
from me, I feel like I can reach out and touch her and give her a hug.
3:06
Even though she's a pain in the neck to get a hold of. and when you finally
3:10
get her on the phone, you know that conversation's gonna be about 60 seconds
3:14
or less, kind of like a game show.
3:17
But throughout it all, I know I can count on her. I can reach out to her and
3:22
talk to her about anything and it's always been that way.
3:25
I remember when I had my back surgery. My mom and dad were really worn out.
3:31
Leanne had came home from college and she took care of me.
3:34
She got me out of bed. She allowed me to go down the steps she gave me breakfast.
3:40
But one memory sticks in the most.
3:43
A long time ago when I was dealing with my ex, she was living with us.
3:48
And I remember that I came down and she had already made breakfast.
3:53
So I asked her to make me breakfast.
3:55
And of course, in typical fashion, my ex looked at me and said,
3:59
make your own breakfast.
4:01
My sister got right out of her seat and said, don't worry, angel.
4:05
I'm going to make you breakfast.
4:08
And she made me her mean, awesome French toast.
4:11
She always stuck up after me. She always made sure that whoever hurt me would feel the wrath.
4:19
Thank you, Lulu, for always being there for me. On this special day,
4:23
I wish you nothing but the very best in all your future endeavors and all your
4:28
future birthdays because you truly are an awesome big sister.
4:32
I love you and have a great season as a varsity coach.
4:38
And keep doing what you're doing, because I'm proud of you. And I will always be your number one fan.
4:44
Love you. And to all the big sisters out there, always remember to respect your
4:48
little brothers, take care of your families, and always remain true to who you are.
4:54
And finally, to my little daughter, Ariel, who'll be turning six in two days,
5:00
