40 Hours Learned Around the Bay
I walked in an hour ago... (thinking of Staralfur)

45 hours before that, I was walking out of the Sacramento Int'l. Everything in between was gorgeous. The occasion was my brother's wedding, and it was quite magical. It was formal, and I do mean Country Club, Italian, hired string quartet, Pachelbel's Canon, servers, loads of champagne and H'orderves.... dancing.

Possibly the most amazing aspect was the family and friends who gathered, and I was finally able to meet, especially the bride. She was stunning and sweet, Princess Leia-esque (literally), and I'm very happy they had the big day, after this was a blossoming love for over 20+ years since childhood.

Still, I will never be able to see the occasion in the eyes of the many connected souls whom I was able to meet, all who know my brother and the family much more extensively. But, I look forward to a better understanding of the lives leading up to Saturday night.

I think the ultimate concept I learned, and believe after this experience, is that biology is arbitrary. It is thanks to Mr. Ray's speech (brother's father) and speaking with him before leaving, that I understood every moment worth living from his eyes. My brother is truly blessed, and those who have been close to him for these 35 years are blessed equally.

So I missed 23 years of knowing my brother's world, yet the future experience still awaits, and it is the experience that counts.... unforgettable.
