Same Old Best Brother
One decade ago, Mikey’s journal gave Will a shout-out for his bestness! Spell check is unhappy with me again, but I continue to assert my right to make up words.
Will is still the best and he still loves the Mets. In fact, he was home recently to go to a Mets game with Dave, and he came home a night early so he could get to spend some time with Mikey.
April is Autism Awareness Month. In honor, I’d like to share a post I originally made in 2013 and re-posted in 2023. My mom gave Will a special shout-out in the comments.
Now that Will lives on his own, he and Mikey don’t get to see each other as much, but when they are together, it’s always a happy occasion. It makes my mom heart very happy. I just love it!
