Seeing Family

[kybearfuzz]

It's sad that the only time family really gathers is for a funeral these days. My family for the most part is not scattered about, most still live within a quick 15 minute drive of my hometown.

One of my favorite people in the world is my nephew Chris. He is my oldest brother's son and is only two years younger than me. My sister, the twin and I have often referred to him as our "little brother" because he basically grew up as such.

When I found out he was coming to the funeral for his uncle, my niece said that I wouldn't recognize him with his ponytail braid that was so long it was nearly to his butt. So I was surprised when he showed up without it, but was even more surprised to see the full beard and the big tummy. He didn't have either of those the last time I saw him, but I have to admit he looks good with both.

I never dreamed he'd grow up to be a straight pocket bear (he's only 5'5"). I have other pics of my nieces and nephews, I'll post them later.

Your nephew is cute, but I prefer my men a little bit older (at least 2 years older ;) ).

The the risk of coming off as a letch, he's damn cute!

Of course, based on the shared DNA, that's hardly surprizing.
