My brother's a prick
We knew he and his wife were planning on moving back to North Carolina on the 15th. They have a lot of reasons for leaving and none of them are true. It's okay, I've pretty much used to them using every excuse in the book for why they don't spend time with us and whatnot.
What they did today, though, takes the cake.
They informed my parents and Katie they're leaving Monday. Katie has regionals to go to tomorrow and Troy's funeral/memorial is Sunday (her ex boyfriend died recently).
They were going to leave without saying goodbye or giving us a chance to say goodbye to my nephew.
The thing is, I should have expected it eventually. My brother almost never follows through on anything. They say one thing and then turn around and do another. When he moved here two years ago, I thought things might actually change. That'd he grown up.
I was wrong. Katie is more mature than he is and if you knew my sister, that says a lot.
So I allowed myself to get close to Devin, to love him, and care for him, and think I'd actually get the chance to watch one of my nephews grow up.
But the worst part isn't even that they're leaving. They didn't bother to call me. I had to find out on freakin TWITTER when Katie posted about it.
