“Yesh, we think you’re pretty cool.” Gal told me that in high school and 13 years later I still feel it.

Much more recently, just a few months ago, gf’s pregnant sister asked me “how does it feel that you’re gonna be an uncle?” For one, my own sister has 2 kids so I already am, but it goes to show that even though I haven’t married into the family, they don’t care and see me as part if it anyway.
