I'm kind of used to having things happen in my life that are entirely beyond my control - this is just a heightened version of that, and it's just strange to think about. I suppose it's only a couple of years out of our lives and an out-of-this-world experience. It'd be silly of anyone to not make the best of it.
You're very wise, big brother, did you know that? Like Yoda. But taller and not green. I think I'm okay on the finding love front - I've already gone through that whole experience and it's pretty much the last thing I want right now - but I've been thinking a lot about why I came and even though I'm not sure it was an informed decision on my part, it's helping to do some good in the world and that's what my Mum always told me to aspire to - doing some good in the world, I mean. So I can always hold onto that if I ever feel down about it.
I think you'll be good together too, I really do. Ruby's lovely and fun and I'm convinced that anyone who bakes like that is a demigoddess. And you'll have adorable babies and I'll get to be cool aunty Annie (!)
I'll come over and bring him if he wants to come, but if you start doing any pointing and giggling I will throw you out. Out of your own house. I know I don't look scary but I can be. Believe me.

P.S. I remembered where I knew your name from. Busted.
