Jonathan L. Brinkman

This picture captures a bittersweet moment from Jonathan's early swimming days, highlighting the immense pride his older sister felt towards him. With heartfelt enthusiasm, she would cheer him on, calling out, "Come on Johnie, you can do it!" It was a touching sight to see John clinging to the edge, wearing a silly grin on his face. Eventually, with his sister's unwavering support, John managed to swim from the ledge to the middle and back! Overwhelmed with emotion, Jessie requested me to capture this special moment, as John repeated his remarkable achievement of the day.
