(Do I dare say that he seems more normal? What's normal anyway?)
He talks more. His whole face like lights up & stuff. In general, he just seems a whole lot better. I was worried there for a moment. (You couldn't talk to him because it's like we could never know what might trigger him We could be saying something innocently..... without knowing it could make him blow a fuse.)
His anger was usually very silent, very inward, very lethal.
Anyway, he came home from being away, so I made sure I met him at the airport. He even rode with me. (Wow! I chauffeured my cousin....
) Perhaps, that's because I'm the youngest of the bunch, the least fussy between his mom, his dad, & my mom.
Funny enough, his birthday was yesterday, so again everybody in my family went by to wish him well.
When we pulled up, HE WAS SHARING A CIGAR WITH HIS BROTHER, & after a while, I teased him, saying "I DIDN'T KNOW YOU SMOKED." It was pretty funny. He was like, "No, no, I don't smoke. This is just my victory cigar." I was like, "OK. Uh huh...."
This was funny to me because I've known my cousin for a LONG time & never knew. Okay then.... I gotta start spending more time with my family.
im glad your has cousin got abit better. and yay for vicotry cigars simply for the fact that it has the word victory in it
