A brother engaged is a marvelous thing.
That's right, we're having a wedding! We're gaining a sister! We're losing a brother! However you look at it, it is supremely interesting and beautiful. Mercer has always been the most interesting kid.
A wedding will be great fun. To gain a sister is a fascinating science, plus she is going to be such a wonderful addition to the family, and so perfect for Mercer.
Losing him will be hard. We all rely on his opinions so. But he has been more and more gone over the past few years, so the pain will not be perhaps as acute as it might have been. I really don't know what I'm talking about. This is the first of everything for all of us.
Oh, yes, it is exciting. Happily, cheerily, bubblely, sunny summer thoughtful melancholyish exciting. A brother engaged is a marvelous thing. It changes and charges and beautifies and activates. It gives and takes away. It blesses.
