Brother

I've been freaking out about wedding planning. Almost every week I have one or two wedding related nightmares. I was driving my brother around today and telling him about it.

I had a dream where someone had picked out my dress for me and it was purple instead of white. I had another one where The Captain was marrying me and some other girl, or somehow had another wife. There was one where I didn't have any bridesmaids or anyone to help me dress or do my hair. In a more recent one everyone was angry with me and I was all alone just wishing that someone would be happy.

I explained my frustrations and my worries right until we got in the driveway. We got out of the car and I was feeling overwhelmed and miserable when my brother stopped me by standing in my path. I was ready to be frustrated with him but he put his arms around me and said,

"I'm happy for you."

He's a good brother.









I really wish I could take back making him wear that tutu when he was five....

  2. I just re-read this, and the last line made me laugh again. I think you're a really talented writer. And just to remind you, I'm not just glad for you, I'm glad for The Captain, too.
