“Do you remember when I bought my first condoms, and she tagged along?” I asked. “The salesgirl told me they came in different sizes, and they needed to measure me to get the fit right.”
I told them about my experience to take the focus off my little brother. Dad winked at me to assure me he would follow up and make sure Phil was okay. Phil needed to learn that we didn’t keep secrets in this family. It was okay to talk about stuff like that.
My phone buzzed. It was Manaia, telling me it was time to get moving.
“I’ve gotta go,” I announced.
I gave each of them a hug goodbye, saving Uncle John for last.
“Walk out with me,” I told him.
As we went downstairs, I shared what I needed to.
“What I said at graduation was true. If it hadn’t been for you, none of this would’ve been possible.”
“I appreciate that, but there are a lot of people who’ve contributed. I just got the ball rolling,” Uncle John said to downplay his role in turning David’s life around.
“It’s not the initial kick in the pants, either. You’ve continued to be there and help me understand people and myself better. Your life lessons have been invaluable. I can see that I’m not there yet, and I hope you’ll always be around to help me,” I said.
“I agree, you’re not done yet. You’ve come much further than any of us ever imagined. A lot of that credit goes to you,” Uncle John said.
“What do you see coming next?” I asked.
“Simple: your childhood is over. It’s time for you to become a better man.”
