The Linzey Series 3/7: David/Brother-In-Law

(The Linzey Series 3/7: David/Brother-In-Law)

“Flashback to one of our big family vacations up to the snow. We were getting ready to head out of the cabin for a day of skiing and in the hustle of the morning rush to get ready, Linzey and I got in a huge fight. It all started when I made bacon for everyone, but she grabbed most of the pieces and began to chow down. When I noticed there was no more bacon left, I looked around and saw the culprit and yelled ‘baconator!’

I have never seen Linzey get so mad. But there she was wrapped up in her snowsuit, mid-bite, fuming at me for calling her some ridiculous made up name. I tried to keep my composure but I couldn’t help but laugh at her response. That only made things worse. She ran up the stairs, muttering insults at me with every step, and to this day we can’t eat bacon together without getting in a bit of a fight.

But we always make up. We work it out with a fist bump or a hug and then we move on to something else. Just like any brother in law and sister would.

And I knew that if I wanted to marry Allison, Linzey and I would have to keep “making up” from our little fights forever. Allison made it clear from the beginning Linzey would eventually live permanently with her one day. To some this might sound scary but I never had to give it a second thought. I love Linzey like my own sister.”
