The Gracen Series 5/5: Jack, Brother-in-Law

(THE GRACEN SERIES 5/5: Jack, Brother-in-Law)

As a boyfriend of his sister at that time, I’ll be honest, I was nervous to meet Gracen. Hearing all these stories of his past, and not having encountered anything of the kind in my life up until then, how could I not be nervous?

But from the first time I met Gracen, I gravitated toward him. His smile and laugh are contagious. He’s the happiest kid you’ll ever meet, even with everything going against him; if anyone has a right not to be happy, it’s Gracen.

He has taught me so much in just a few, short years: how to be more compassionate, understanding, and caring; how to be joyful in the face of hardship; and much more. Since meeting Gracen I am a better person. Growing up as the youngest of three older siblings, I always wished I had a younger sibling, and now I do. Gracen is my little brother and I love him to death. Anyone who meets him would feel the same way.
