Many Happy Returns!
2004 September 24
A hearty happy birthday to my little brother M. He turns 15 today. Has it really been 15 years since I was jumping up and down, all excited because my kid sibling was about to be born? I remember being sent out to get diapers and baby wipes as my mom was in labor. I went with my cousin, whose own little brother was almost seven. I distinctly remember her telling me to calm down.
I also remember seeing him the morning after he was born, seeing him for the very first time. I touched his little fingers – his hand immediately gripped one of my own fingers. His eyes were closed, he was all red and ruddy, but by GOD, was he beautiful.
Happy birthday you little geek.

Why thank you. I have always been your favorite sibling haven’t I?
You’re very welcome. You’ve always been my favorite little brother. ;)
