Today is my brother’s birthday.
Sean is an awesome person both as a brother and a friend. His friends could tell you tales of Sean going out of his way to help them. But they don’t know the number of times that he did things that he took no credit for.
He has a wicked sense of humor and has taken the concept of a running gag to epic proportions. The courting of his wife could be a book in itself.
He has taught himself all kinds of interesting skills. He finds something interesting and wants to learn how to do it for himself. Because of this curiosity, I have someone who is a blacksmith and can do amazing things with Plexiglass among other hard to work materials in my back pocket when I need some help with something for puppets or the like.
He is known in southern scifi fandom and, in some cases, world wide for his elaborate parties that have been called, without exaggeration, legendary. Once you have been to one of his parties, you look forward to be invited to the next one. The invites are inventive and collectable. One year it was “The Dead Man’s Party” and you had to have a toe tag to get in. One year you became part of the fashion police. I know a couple of people who collect his cloisonné pins even if they can’t get to the party. I am looking forward to DragonCon and whatever he has mixed up this year. Oh, he is also an excellent bartender too.
I remember when he was shorted than me. I remember holding him when he was a baby. I remember crawling on the floor trying to teach him how to crawl. I remember playing with him in elaborate games we created.
I love the look of sheer joy on his face when he figures something out or gets one of his really clever ideas.
I love the confidence he has in his skills and abilities.
I love him.
He’ll always be my little brother even though he is a couple inches taller than me.
So Happy Birthday Sean!
I am so very grateful that Sean is my brother.
