The honorific

Last night, we made dinner to celebrate the honorific title of Uncle on Darrin who now refers to Tin as his nef. “Who calls me nef?” Tin asked this morning. I made French Greyhounds, my new favorite cocktail with vodka, St. Germaine and Pellegrino’s Grapefruit – yum! We also had crawfish sausage, roasted potatoes, roasted bell peppers, broccoli and carrots – yum!

The long and winding road has brought us a tribe that continues to be vibrant with love. Evan and Nina – the godparents. Marline and Lazlo – the legal guardians. Aunt Jerri – and now Uncle Darrin and Auntie Yolanda. Everyone already thinks Darrin is Tin’s father since they sport the same fro.

After trimming his hair, we celebrated with a toast, a virgin greyhound for Tin and glasses raised to congratulate Darrin for getting in Jazz Fest and to codify his relationship with Tin with the honorific of Uncle (and thereby nef).

As Darrin is want to say, “All good.”
