My niece is pretty phenomenal. She is smart, articulate, ridiculously good at hockey and more. Even though he is smart and awesome, too, I would have thought it would be hell to follow his elder sister.
If it is, I have never seen him act like it. He is his sister's biggest fan.
Whenever a friend wins an award or gets a promotion, I too am happy. To a person, they have deserved it. They put in more time than me and are better than I at what won them the award, the promotion, whatever.
But along with is something else. It's not jealousy.
It's sadness.
I am sad because I'll never know if I could win an award or lead a work unit. It's hard to shine when you have to deal with failing body.
It's also kind of sad to have a 13-year-old for a hero.
