10 Days

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now:
1. I love you.
2. If i could keep you in my house forever i would. You are his right hand man and a brother to me. I cannot wait for our children to to marry and carry on this crazy dynasty we are building brick-by-brick.
3. You are the strongest man i know--not the oldest. You are raising nearly twelve kids by yourself and you deserve all the happyness in the world. I will never leave your side, so stop pouting.
4. I dream about you and i want you to get better. I think about you all the time. You are the most talented man of your breed and when we build that family compound you had better stick around.
5. I think about you every day, and i think you are more than a boyfriend-stealer. You are the mother of his child too and i want this to be the shortest time in our lives that we hate eachother. It seems impossible but as well as our daughters, i want us to be sisters. I'm sorry i held on to this poison so long.
6. You are so much brighter than your teachers had you believe all your life. You may be the first one in this family to get a masters degree and own the entire world with it. Keep your head up and kick like hell.
7. I'm sorry i stopped calling you when you broke up with her. I really wanted her to have your children. I think you could still be the best uncle ever, though.
8. You really have NO idea what's been goin' on.
9. Someday i swear you'll understand all the good you've done for me--even though you think that i think that we both "know" you fucked up.
10. I'm going to come home and take care of you and your brothers and sisters very soon, i promise. I love you.
