Christopher Jay

Today marks the 21st birthday of the youngest among what I call the Motley Crew. We are the children that were raised together and who I count as my family. Christopher Jay joined us later and as a result is abnormally quiet (when compared to the loud mouthed, opinionated older ones). We older kids were allowed to name him and somehow all agreed on Christopher. Lisa liked Christopher because of Christopher Robin and I liked Christopher because of Christopher Columbus. Odd, sure.

So now Christopher or Chris (he prefers Chris now) is all grown up - 6'5 to be exact. When he was born he was my own live baby doll. He would follow me everywhere calling me "Harah". Unfortunately he doesn't want to follow me everywhere anymore. In fact for the past 8 years I've been pretty uncool (except when I gave him my apartment over New Years). I will continue to try to bond with this alien 21 year old. My baby bro Chris. Happy Birthday to you!


Christopher today in NYC. Wish I had a photo of him as a kid he was so cute!

    My little bro was like my baby doll too, until he grew up and is too cool for me. Makes me feel old and way uncool (but his 17 year old gf really likes me!)
