Hell is a little colder this week.

On Thanksgiving morning, the first phone call I recieved was from my brother, David. He wished us a happy Thanksgiving and apologized for his behavior when we were there when my grandmother died 2 weeks ago. He said that he was tense and uncomfortable and was sorry for the way he behaved. He said that he didn't think it was that big of a deal ( He was referring to telling Con there was no santa clause) but it obviously was to me. I told him that that was just the topper.. not the only thing that angered me to tears. He said "What ELSE did I do wrong?" I said, "The racist jokes were a bit much, and the constant put downs of your boys' mother." He said yeah...he did think about that. He said that he wants to be able to be himself and if he cannot then he wants to leave or be alone. I told him that the other option is to suck it up and behave appropriately for people you love. I told other family members that David apologized and they were absolutely floored. Noone else has ever heard him do that.
David appears to have grown a little. I hope it didn't hurt too much.

OMG. Grab the depends first

super_dave had this link in his journal. I almost peed myself.
