tangent

my little baby brother has proposed, is engaged, is getting married.

Brother no.1 has a daughter, a wedding in July and an international consultant career.
Brother no.2 has a son, another on the way, and is rebuilding a house with his partner.
And now baby brother no.3, just back from 9 months of cycling, is engaged and moving away to start a new life.

My little brothers are all younger than me. But they've been taller than me for a long time. And, I'm wondering, maybe now more grown up.

None of my plans or prospects look like any permanence at all.
