It was nice to see so many attend the wedding to show love and support toward my family. People were not always so kind. It helps to belong to a community that values our differences. I wish my brother had lived to experience such a thing, to feel like he belonged. I hope to be good to my new brothers, to help them learn and grow into their own version of the amazing men I know them to be in another world.
Love is such a complex and terrifying emotion. It brings such joy and comfort, and frustration and devastation. I am so lucky to know it and be surrounded by so much of it.
Is anyone looking for another to attend the Halloween party with? I'm afraid I have not had much time to meet many people my own age here. This of course would be a platonic, no obligations arrangement. In my experience it is not much fun to go alone. Also, I would appreciate some costume ideas.
