| My brother & I in 1987 |
We've always "celebrated" Jon's cancer-versary. We give him little presents, and he usually gets pretty drunk with his friends. This year he told his girlfriend, Nickie, he wanted to celebrate the night by getting a hotel room and having a really nice dinner out. Well, they did that, but before they left the room for dinner he got down on one knee, told her he wanted to stop celebrating the worst day of his life and start celebrating the best. He pulled out a (beautiful!) ring and asked her to marry him.
She said yes.
The idea of my little brother getting married makes me feel old, but the fact that he is still around and healthy and thinking about the future... I can't even put in to words how grateful I am for that.
That is a beautiful engagement story! Wow!
ReplyDeleteAww how sweet!

ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!!!!!!! :) My little brother proposed to his girl friend a couple weeks ago... I felt the same- like "hey wait a minute.. you're not old enough for that!!" ;) That is so exciting, congrats to him!!!
ReplyDeleteSo exciting! And I am so happy for him, to have overcome this, to still be here, alive and healthy, and to have gone on to live this normal life. What a beautiful day, too, to pick to ask her to marry him. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely engagement story, what a beautiful way to do it
