I know this reads more like a blogpost but for some reason I couldn’t help putting it here.

Sorry.

No apologies needed. There is definitely a story here and it’s a read worth reading. I enjoyed (right word?) this greatly and if not for the title/tag/comment I would have taken this for a topical story. Enjoy the game and save a spot on the couch for your pops!

Ouch. No need to apologize. Writing wise there are a few missteps, like the sentence about him being born with a brother that reads awkwardly. Still, the pain and swirl of emotions comes through nicely.
