Despite his faults, I love my oldest brother. One of his greatest qualities is that he doesn’t bother with bullshit. He tells it just like it is, even if that means taking the blame.
I hope he doesn’t get too upset with me for sharing this with you. This is a voicemail he left me today, 2 days after my birthday.
You really should listen to it… but, in case you can’t, here’s a transcript:
hey little brother i’m sorry i missed your birthday. happy birthday and please forgive me. i knew it, i just was too lazy and i didn’t call you. it’s my fault no excuses. sorry. but hope you had a good birthday. give the little one a kiss for me. bye.
