Love
I try to be an open-minded person most of the time but I am acutely aware that I am a miserable failure at being opened-minded about my brother. If you meet him and don't admire him, you won't last long in my life.
Obviously, my husband of 23 years is one of John's most ardent fans. When we decided to get married, his mother asked me whether John's "condition" was inherited. The question took me by surprise as I would not have considered getting married without discussing the issue with Tag and his family had that been the case. When I mentioned this conversation to Tag I again was surprised -- stunned really -- when he told me he had wondered the same thing. He added, "Kat, it doesn't matter to me -- either way I want to marry you and I want John to be my brother-in-law". Any question I may have had about my choice of mate dissipated with that comment. As usual, John helped me to uncover the truth -- in this instance, that there isn't a finer man on the planet.
