Josh (Nicole's younger brother) who I have adopted as my little brother, left on his mission this Wednesday.
September 7, 2011
He was going to be ordained as an Elder on Tuesday night, so I went over on Monday to see him before he was set apart. It was really hard knowing that it would be the last time that I would get to hug him for two years. Josh was so sweet. I started to cry and he wiped away my tears, gave me a kiss on the forehead and started to sing to me part of "Stay With Me" by Josh Gracin.
On Tuesday night, after he got set apart Nick, Shawn, and I went to visit him for the last time. We decided to bring a pinata. It was a bittersweet night.
(One of the things I will miss most about Josh is is hugs. He will never let you leave without giving him a "proper goodbye". )
"You wouldn't leave without giving me a proper goodbye would you?"
It was so hard not being able to give Josh a proper goodbye. Leaving with a handshake when everyone else go to hug him tore my heart out.
I will miss him SO much. We would always have so much fun together and do random things

Josh has a special spot in my heart. He is one of the most Christlike people I know and has a way of making you feel like a million bucks when you are with him.
I am jealous that the people of Argentina get him for two years, they are so lucky. I am so proud of him and I know that Josh will do great things as Elder Skousen.
"Lindsey darling, I love you more than life itself...Thanks for being so great. Don't change :)"
