Tears stream uncontrollably down my face at 8:13am as I’m driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I’m listening to The Modern Love podcast. This episode features Lucy Coulson’s Tiny Love Story* where she is envious of a guy’s girlfriend, wanting to ask her a million questions about him: How does he like his coffee? What does he say about his childhood? Does he want children? The ending is abrupt as the author reveals that she’s not wondering about an ex-boyfriend or someone she admires from afar. She’s wondering these intimate questions about none other than her brother. And that’s when the tears started flowing, as I recognized a similar longing shared so succinctly and perfectly.
Just some random person here to say this was beautiful! You made me realize I want to know my sisters on that level, too. Calling them for their coffee order now 💖

OK wow. I didn't realized I didn't know these things about my brother either. Will be reaching out to him now. Thanks for sharing this, Brooke.
And just like that, the Tiny Love Story continues to radiate into other families (reading comments below!)
