I'm trying to wrap my head around some contradictory numbers.
Today we celebrated Kol's 17th birthday, and today Kol is still 9 years 7 months and 24 days old, the same age he's been for the past 7 years 4 months and 6 days.
In a little less than two weeks, Kol's baby sister, who is 7 years 4 months and 16 days younger than him, will turn 9 years 7 months and 25 days old, and become older than her big brother.
In a little less than 2 and a half years, Kol will have been dead longer than he was alive.
And someday, Kol will probably have a niece or nephew who is older than him. And possibly more than one. Hopefully more than one. (No pressure, girls).
Happy birthday Kol. You should be 17 today, but you're forever 9 and two thirds. We're thankful for each and every one of the 3524 days we had with you, but we wish we were at 6209 days and many, many more yet to come. We love you and we miss you every day, but today we're missing you even more than usual.
