That moment when your other half's sister is back in town, and you've never met her and are both excited as hell and nervous.

Worried you're going to get the older sibling smackdown?

She can't be as scary as you were when I was trying to meet Ajay the first time. :P

Sure, but I knew he had just tried to let someone murder him, so I was scared for him.

Trust me, I've never not been grateful that Ajay has someone like you in his life who loves him so fiercely and would kill to keep him safe if it came down to it. Anybody would count themselves lucky to have a love like that. And as Ajay's brother, even though I didn't meet him until after you were already in his life, I couldn't have picked a better husband-to-be for my brother if I'd put one together myself.

I don't know. He's an amazing person. I think anyone would have tried to help him if they knew. Good people, at least. Not the ones who think their problems are worse than anyone else's ever.

True, but you've done more than try to help him. You've loved him deeply and protectively, and after all he's been through, it's awesome to know that he's loved for who he is, not in spite of it or with the exception of certain bits. There's too many people like that in the world. I see families with sick kids every day, and they're strong and brave most of the time, even when they're dying inside... I tend not to take people seriously when they'd rather whine about their bullshit 24/7 than open their eyes to other people's pain for once.
