YAY!!! I'M AN UNCLE!!! 
My little sister had her first baby last night, and I'm tickled plaid! Zac Larson entered this world at 6:33 pm, and almost as monstrous as his loving uncle was: 8 lbs, 10 oz. According to my mom, I was 8-14, but Katy had a moose of her own...
Some of you know I'm a pretty severe bipolar, and I'm prone to intense suicidal episodes. Zac changed all that overnight. I made him a promise as I was first holding him (he looks like a little burrito) that I would *always* be there for him. He's already lost his other uncle Tim to a helicopter collision, and I'll be damned if I'm going to desert him for selfish reasons. Not exactly like having my own kid, but this is my first blood-relation of a new generation. I have several nephews and nieces from step-siblings, but Katy is my only living sibling, and it feels a hell of a lot different now.
I'm far from cured (I'll probably deal with it the rest of my life), but I doubt I'll ever allow myself a legitimate suicidal episode ever again. I keep my promises, and I will NOT take the life of Zac's only blood-uncle.
Everyone says that all babies look alike, and that may well be correct, but looking into the tiny eyes of your own flesh and blood makes it completely unique... I'm higher than any drugs have ever made me, and I guess the only thing that could be better is having my own. I'm gettin' along in age these days, and I'm giving myself 10-11 years to have offspring. If I don't by my mid to late 40's, I doubt I ever will. I don't want to be pushing 70 when my kid goes to the college of their choice ('cause *obviously* they'll be brilliant and will set the world aflame!)
I love my sis and her family...

Forget the cemetaries in PDx. Go to the mausoleum in Sellwood.
