I have a really large, connected, Catholic family. We are very stern about most things, but have a network for helping one another through hard times, and even if we move far away, we are still very connected.
In spite of this, my twenty nine year old brother, who is four years my senior, disappeared off the face of the map, a couple years ago. This was totally unexpected, and out of character. I have two younger sisters, and the four of us were always very close.
We were extremely worried for the past two years, and thought he may have died, or joined a cult, but yesterday, we went to a family gathering at my grandparents home in a very wealthy neighborhood in Tampa, and though this yearly gathering around the same time is normal, we were excited, because my brother emailed my mom, and said he was finally ready to come home.
We were at the dinner table, which is massive, and seats around forty people, and a weird, lumpy, almost misshapen lady entered, just as the prayers had ended, and we had given up on waiting for my brother to arrive. The lady was dressed in a black sundress, with white frills, black pantyhose, and black flats, with little white bows. She had long black hair, and a face that cut at odd angles, with a large chin. She also had these horribly done, massive fake tits. As soon as "she" spoke in that tranny rasp, we realized it was a guy pretending to be a girl, and after a few more moments, we realized it was my brother. He even did a weird little spin, so as to say, "look at how perfect I am!"
The family dinner ended instantly, and everyone left extremely embarrassed. My mom, and siblings are broken, and I haven't been home, instead just walking around town, trying to grab onto anything, and I want to cry. My mom feels like she did this, and my dad, who works on the road, didn't say anything, just hung up the phone, and none of us have spoken. The family also hasn't called us, not an aunt, uncle, or our grandparents. I'm defeated Jow Forums.
