Surprise!
Well, we pulled it off. The surprise party for Gabe was a success. My mom and step-dad drove up from California Thursday afternoon, my brother Josh and his son Thomas flew in Friday morning, and my dad and step-mom flew in Friday afternoon. Friday night, we were all at my brother Gabe’s place and surprised him as he walked in the door after work. It was awesome. It was the first time in at least 8 1/2 years that all three brothers and our mom and dad were all together.
We’d been planning this for months, and as the day got closer, I was sure one of us was going to blow it and inadvertently let Gabe know what was going on. I’d been ignoring him for more than a week, because I was so sure that if I talked to him I would somehow spill it.
