Like oldest, like youngest

As some of you are aware, I am the oldest of 22 cousins. It's definitely a special role to have in a large family and comes with a certain kind of responsibility. It's me who paves the way for the rest of the crew. The first to go to parties in high school, the first to go to the prom, the first to go to college, the first to get an internship, the first to get a real job (and the list goes on...)


You never really know how your decisions and life choices are effecting your younger siblings and cousins, but when I received this photo of my youngest cousin Mae (at 5 years old), I couldn't help but smile.


Like oldest, like youngest.
