N is Here

My brother is here! I am so excited. Last time he visited me was in June of 2012, when he first meet S. I can't believe it's already been more than a year since then. Since then all the trials we've gone through. We've moved in, gotten engaged, married and will be changing apartments soon.

Part of the reason he came at this time is to help us move. Secondly, he is also in a deep depression and I wanted to help him a little bit by bringing him out here and having him engage with others. Students, girls and people, real, living, breathing, made out of flesh people.

Depression is a horrible thing and really there is very little an outsider can do. Everything needs to be resolved within yourself and your own mind before you can do anything about it.

I am so happy and so glad he is here. This will give us an excuse to do something and also allow me to be a good sister. I haven't been that in a very long time.

Happy Birthday, N!

Happy birthday, Brother N!

I can't believe that this is your 24th birthday. When did you grow up to be a man? I remember the times you were so young, gullible and naive. But your innocence has never disappeared and you've never lost your gentle, loving heart and your kind eyes have increasingly become intenser over the years due to the suffering you've endured and the empathy you've gained.

It is unfortunate that we are unable to be there for your birthday. But, next year, I will come bearing gifts. Thank you for everything you've done for me, firstly simply by choosing to be my brother.

The best,

Love, your sister N,
