[343/365] Chris

It should be my brother's birthday today.

The run-up to Christmas was always about having to find two goddam presents for him (a nuisance only alleviated by knowing he had to do the same; my birthday is even closer to Christmas) so it still sometimes feels weird to...not be having to think about that.

He should be 36 today.

He didn't even get to be 22.

I should be calling him up to dutifully wish him happy birthday, strategize for seeing our parents soon for Christmas, ask about my niblings.

I still have to stop and think about the people who aren't at my table for Thanksgivig or WinterHolidays. They're still part of our lives, in a difference way.

I wouldn't wish this on anybody, but since it's going to happen, it's nice to find people who udnerstand.
