Lets you plan their whole weekends.
Meets all your friends, loves them all, and helps you love them better.
Analyzes concepts and interactions to exhaustion, and then comes back to it for more.
Knows what you find important.
Puts up with everything they know about you, and then some.
Doesn't mind the current living situation.
Understands why you think a certain way, even when he disagrees with you.
Sees where you're going and knows why you're staying.
Tells you you're better at things when he knows he is.
Carries the conversation when you can't ... or won't.
Makes you think you're smarter even when he is.
Makes sure the important messages from your sister come through, even when the MMS messages fail to come across the phone network (Jen, resend it, I want to see it, it's HUGE NEWS!)
I love you, Audree. Thanks for coming and learning about my little paradise in New England.
Thanks for sharing your brother with us Elwyn! I kind of expected that he would be a treasure, and so he was :).
