I've gone through the motions of crying when sad or upset or frustrated, but I am not really an emotional guy, so no tears and not actual crying.

However, things have been happening here that excite me but also make me sad.

When my sister was 16, she had a child, who was put up for adoption. I am an uncle. Now, there doesn't seem to be bad blood or drama, just my sister couldn't take care of a kid that young, but a loving family adopted him. a few years ago she tried to get in contact with him, and she did, and now she is visiting here and they are bonding and having a great time. I never really talked about this with anybody in my family. I knew about it, but it wasn't a topic of conversation very often, even if the situation was pretty healthy. So, I haven't thought about this situation in a while, but now that it's here, it's hit me really hard.

Two days ago I met him for the first time. I never really thought about it before...but dang now that I have met him I am SO GLAD. I've made a new life long friend!

Today my sister told me he is feeling sad because she is going back home tomorrow, and that made me want to cry. And, when I drove home from the pizza place we were at, I did cry almost the entire way back(I was alone).

Why? Because...while my sister and him seem to have the foundation for a good relationship, the fact he's going to feel it when she leaves made me want to comfort him. And, I know now my duty is to treat him like a bother from this day forward!

And boy does that make me happy!

It's OK to cry. You have feelings for a reason, feel em

Man, somebody had to necro this thing....

But yeah I am happy I got to meet him and will continue getting to know him. We have seemingly no common interests, but the fact he's my nephew I plan on treating like a brother, we can work around that. Already planning to buy this motherfucker a watch...

I guess I forgot to mention, he is 19 now so we'll see how malleable he is.
