Today is my brother Sean’s 38th birthday.

That is OLD.

That is SO OLD that I’m relieved that the lovely young woman up there (my sister-in-law, Carey) was willing to marry such an OLD man.

I don’t know what it’s like to be that OLD but wow, I bet it’s interesting.

(I know. Sisters are JERKS.)

He’s not really that old (well, he is, but there’s no way 38 is “old”, especially when you consider my Dad’s age, which is SO FREAKING OLD).

(I’m going to get disowned.)

Sean, I love you!

You make me laugh.

You are proud of me even when I’m a dork.

You challenge my ideas and my notions about things.

You inspire me with the things you’re doing right now.

You are gracious, compassionate, witty, thoughtful, generous, intuitive, curious and just deep down GOOD.

Thanks for being my big brother and my friend.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
