Not Always About Adam

Since Adam's diagnosis a lot of attention has been given to him. That is natural for all parents, when one of their children is sick they tend to shower them with attention. Mainly to make sure they are doing okay, being worried and any number of things that go through a parents mind.

Unfortunately if there are other children in the family, they tend to get "left out in the cold". When a child is sick that can last for the entire time they are sick, so with Adam having Hodgkin's, a lot of attention will be showered upon him. That leaves me with the reason for this posting. Adam's brother Jordan.

Even though Jordan is 18, he still lives at home and he too needs the attention, so this post is about him. He made the comment that there were no posts about him, so today it's about Jordan.

Jordan and Adam are very close in age, as well as close to one another. They look out for each other and they also fight with one another as brothers do, but NEVER say anything bad about the other one or you will see just how close they are. For many years when you saw Adam, you saw Jordan. Now that they are older that is not always the case, but you can guarantee if Adam needs his brother, Jordan will be there and vice versa.

So this has been very hard on Jordan. But he has still been there and supporting Adam every step of the way, just as a brother should, and just as a BIG brother should. So Jordan, thanks! You know that mom and I love you and you know that Adam does too, even though he never tells you that. Hang in there, and know that we still think about you too and we still worry about you too. This will all soon be over and I am sure that during this time you will get all the attention you need. If not let us know...
