Day 16: Sibling Karma

The other night, I was awake and anxious at 2:30 AM. My cell rang, and I thought, Who would be calling at this point? So I answered it - my brother. He is attending Virginia Tech, and we hadn't connected since his break in March, so this was certainly unexpected.

"Hello?"
"Sister!"
"Why are you calling at 2:30 in the morning!?"
"Can't a brother call his sister just because he loves her?"

As odd as it was, being a random night, and an ungodly time, it was the opportune time for him to call. He heard the stress in my voice and demanded that I send him a list of things to do for the wedding.

My overall relief was rooted in the initiation; my brother called out of the blue, and somehow the forces of Nature deemed it the exact time when I needed a familiar voice.
