re: #104 Barefoot Grin

My brother married a woman from Hamburg and has lived there since the late 1980s. They had two children, now about 20 and 18. They separated 5 or 6 years ago and finally divorced last year. He’s free!

Except, he hasn’t been without a girlfriend since kindergarten, so he was already with someone else when the separation began, married her as soon as the divorce was in, and now has a 3-month-old baby. I guess he’s a Hamburger for life.

My brother and his significant other are NOT married, as a statement. Mr. w and I are the only ones in the family who have been together longer (32 years, at this point) and were also not married, but not as a statement, then suddenly had to get married AS a statement right after the accident (almost two years ago), then my brother and his other visited last Easter, and we had to break it to them.

Here’s our Easter photo, standing next to a chapel that was closed.
