Tired of it yet? :) Shawn

I owe my brother in law a space.
I probably will never convey this relationship properly, hard as I might try. I'll give it a go.
What I love about Shawn is that he'll have a discussion and not back down. He listens. He takes it in. He is usually studied about whatever it is. He also has a huge soft spot for my babies, and my husband and he will borrow us whatever we need (like his Prius to go to Arkansas) without question. He says yes more than he says no. He loves family.

But he lives on another planet. He is my constant challenge to myself to shut up and let someone walk their path. I am called to be bigger than myself when it comes to him. I am not him, I know not what it feels like to be him. I process things differently than he does. He is brilliant. But he's jaded. And it frustrates me to no end sometimes. Just sometimes. He holds a very special place in my heart. He is, funny enough, my stand in husband. When I need a hubby point of view, and Cullen is unavailable, I call Shawn and he never leads me wrong. The Alpha Male in him probably eats that up too, damn...never considered that. :) I appreciate being let into his life, and him sharing his thought processes with me because I do learn from him, I learn so much. I actually owe him alot, because I have learned ALOT about being a better human being from him.

And yet somehow...we're good friends! I guess I haven't felt frustrated over things that are none of my business in a while anyway.... and it has been fun watching him grow too. He tells me he loves me. Even though sometimes he wants to punch me. And when I'm feeling catty, I do love to pick on him. He's so good about letting it roll off his back and just letting me attack the air. He's confusing, but he is GOOD. And I need someone to keep me in check, I guess.:P

Thank you, Shawn! I love you.
