“There’s no buddy like a brother.” – Unknown
It’s 2 : 23 PM on day 2155 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, go to the doctor and and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – Paul and Juliet Merrell of Big Planet Radio donated $50 (thanks SO MUCH Paul and Juliet) which brings the total raised to $7 175 only $5 325 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ) .
Today is my brother’s 16th birthday and in honour of that I wrote down sixteen life lessons for him and everybody else (not that I know much about life). Take a look:
