Chance has a style all his own

Chance's cousin got married over the holidays.  We spent the weekend with cousins, aunts and uncles celebrating with the happy couple.  Chance is close to this cousin and has enjoyed getting to know his new cousin-in-law :)

Christmas is a popular time to get married in our neck of the woods as we have several colleges nearby and Christmas break is a perfect time for couples to get married in between semesters at school.

While sitting at a table during the wedding reception, one of Chance's married cousins made an interesting observation about Chance.  He watched Chance for a minute and then said that Chance reminded him of his brother who had an attitude about him that said he was his own person, had his own style and wasn't concerned with what other people thought about him. He also said that was cool that Chance was like that.

I thought that was an interesting observation about Chance.  Chance does have his own style and he is his own person. And I hope that Chance realizes that he doesn't have to worry about what other people think of him if he is true to himself and his values. He doesn't seem to be that concerned about what other people think.  Oh he wants to make sure that his hair is in place and he has opinions about clothes and what he thinks looks good.  There is so much pressure to be like everyone else and to follow the crowd. I am glad that Chance is comfortable in his own skin and doesn't feel like he has to please everyone else around him.  Due to the fact that he wears implants, people sometimes do a double take when they seem him out in public, just kind of checking out the implants or wondering what they are, but Chance doesn't seem to be phased at all by that fact and just goes on with his life being himself.

I think it is cool that Chance is like that too.
