Today..
Today, my brother (Dr. Hudson) gets married.
Or so I hear. If it seems sudden to anyone else, it was to me too! The lucky lady is a longtime off/on girlfriend since.. well since forever. Why so sudden? Who knows.. Mike has always seemed to do things at the precise moment he was ready for it, so maybe the mood just hit him right. and her.. Well who wouldn’t want to marry a hudson.. and a doctor for that matter. I don’t know much about her unfortunately, I think she might be a touch on the shy side. Or hey.. maybe she hates me.. I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t admit I rub some folks the wrong way.
I’m really kinda sad about all this.. I don’t really know my brothers as well as I’d like to. We grew up apart, and only since I was about 18 have we really known much of each other anyway.. I am so happy that he is doing this though. I wish I could be there. Unfortunately it was intended to be a small gathering for this wedding, and have a large to-do later on, my major issue with that is.. well not an issue more of me just whining. These kids grew up in Hawaii, so that is where I would bet the final to-do will be. I live in Indiana and getting to Hawaii from here would cost well.. a significant portion of my annual earnings. So I probably won’t be able to make it to his wedding.. and as I was not invited to this ceremony I won’t be at either of my brother’s ceremonies. That really bums me out.
I wish I knew why, but I feel so close to my brothers. Like they were a missing part of me growing up. Sometimes its easy for me to forget they have this whole life together, and this intense bond between them.. and then there’s me. I know adam and drew much better than michael. My closest relationship is with drew, but I think mainly because he would talk to me.. the others are not really into computers so IM’s and emails don’t happen from them. Unfortunate because years of working as a customer service rep leaves me unwilling to even call my own Mom. They both have computers, but don’t really use them as far as I can tell.
Well if he ever reads this, I want to congratulate him.. and eventually slug him for not telling me about this so I could come..(really.. I’m going to slug you)
