Pondering

This is my little brother. He recently had brain sugery to remove a cyst in his brain… this was taken just before the operation… the hope in his eyes is really inspiring

it seems the operation has changed a little but not much… we all still hold hope that he will be able to attend high school next year and not have to be home schooled … this photo is dedicated to his struggle.
