However, in real life, my brother-in-law died at 6:17 pm yesterday after several years battling lung cancer.
He died in my sister’s arms, with his favorite cat (who hadn’t left his side the last four days) watching over him.
Our families are all over the country and around the world, and we have been able to be together for my sister and each other 24/7 the last few days as his journey here was ending, thanks to the internet.

So, tonight, I wish my brother-in-law godspeed on his new adventure and lift a glass in his memory and thank him for the happiness he has shared with my sister all of these past years.
