The Oldest

C.J.



The oldest and now 18. He is outgoing and sentimental. He always pulls for the kids who have been served a harder lot in life.

I remember one time at a lazer tag / arcade type place when he was about ten, he hit the jackpot on one of the games and got hundreds of tickets. You know what hundreds of tickets can get you? One of those REAL toys.

One of his school friends was there with her family this same night. Kaitlyn didn't really have friends her age that she went places with. She was different. She had been born with many deformities and had GREAT difficulty with speech. But she loved C.J. and he never shunned her. He saw her there and knew she couldn't really play the games to win tickets the way other kids their age could. He went and handed her his jackpot of tickets saying, "Here Kaitlyn, why don't you go get you something nice with these?" Sometimes, impulsiveness is a very good thing indeed.
