Brothers

When I was in high school, I always wanted a brother.  I wanted someone who would stick up for me, who would protect me when I needed it, who would want to pal around with me.  Obviously, the brother thing never worked out for me.  I’ve had close male friends for a long time, some more reliable than others.  But now, I have Chris.

One of the things I love about Rob is his relationship with his brother, Chris.  Chris is funny, loyal, generous and he and I both love Rob to bits.  It makes it easy to get along with him.  We had a great dinner out with him when I was in Florida for Veteran’s Day weekend last fall.  I understand Chris in that “we’re both the youngest child” way that Rob doesn’t quite get and they connect on this deep level that I will never be able to wrap my head around.  I’m happy to call Chris my brother-in-law. 

I’m so glad Chris is going to be Rob’s best man.  He really is the right person for the job.
