After two grueling months of being screamed at, infrequent 5-minute privilege phone calls home, and physical training drills (which cost him 12 pounds and a bum knee), my beloved big brother is back home. Greeting him at the airport this afternoon was the first time I can ever remember him hugging me so hard that he picked me up off the ground (well, in the non-violent-sibling-rivalry-sense).
Maybe I should have thought twice about coming down from the hug, taking a step back to take a look at him and saying, “You look scary.” You should see his stern military photo that mom showed me the night before. This is definitely a different look for my goofball, moutain biking, Slayer-loving bro. At least I said it with a smile and he found it laughable.
Ahhhh, it’s good to have him back.
