This is an exciting time for your brother! Wishing him the best of luck, both in school and football! My son plays varsity football and baseball. He really wants to go baseball for college. I took him on some college visits this summer and I am dreading being in the position you are in tomorrow -- having to leave him at the college and come home without him.
Keep in touch. He will probably be homesick even if he is too big and tough to admit it. Those occasional cards and more frequent emails will keep him going. Just think, maybe he will bring home some good looking friends on break!
