FINAL UPDATE, and then I’ll stop sharing my family’s private life with the entire world: THESE TWO ARE HAVING A BABY!
My idiot brother is gonna be a whole ass PARENT. AN ENTIRE DAD. And I’m gonna be an AUNT (again, for the millionth time. We have a very big family, don’t even ask)
I, of course, already love that peach-stone sized future human being more than I ever loved anything in my entire life, and I am ready to fulfill my new destiny: to be the best weird and fun gay aunt who’s always travelling and only comes home to get drunk at family gatherings.
The new and improved plan is to get that kid on the “you married the wrong sibling” family running joke. I want the kid to tell me “I wish you were my Dad” by the time they’re 15. Their Mom is already on board, as is my own Mother. My brother not so much, but who cares about him anyway.
In all seriousness, I’m absolutely thrilled for my Brother and my Sister-in-Law. They’ve loved each other so fiercely and for so long, I couldn’t be happier to see them expand their own little family by bringing a whole entirely new human being into it. I know my brother, he has always wanted a kid for as long as I can remember. His happiness is all that matters to me. And BOY, is he happy! I love my family with my entire heart and soul, and I can’t wait to watch this little nugget grow up.
The End (for real this time)
