That Time Again?

Hunter is lucky enough to be first.  I know that he doesn't think so, but that's because he's not second.  As the first, you get more responsibility.  Watch your brother, you're older/you know better...if you're the oldest, you've heard them all.  And as the oldest, you get me getting all teary eyed at all of the firsts.  First dance, first trophy, first girlfriend, first graduation.

What no one (except Will) has figured out is that being second is harder.  Because he's not just second, he's last.  So he's the last dance, the last trophy and last girlfriend and the last graduation.  All of which are exciting occasions, just a little more teary eyed than the first ones.  

So who can believe that we were standing in line tonight, just like we did years ago, ordering the last class ring.  And there were no tears, just laughter and fun.  Will is going to love his ring, even though it doesn't have the Philadelphia Eagles logo on it.  Oh my, the class of 2015...that now seems like it's right around the corner.
