The Big Brother Job

Brother → Sister

Wedding · Ballad

Lauren, I taught you to drive, hauled boxes up the stairs of about six different apartments with you, and picked up every time you called, whatever the hour. Today you're starting something new, and instead of a toast I'd just fumble, I'll say it straight: I'm not handing you off to anybody. I'm watching you step into a life you built — with a guy who'd better know how lucky he is. I'm so proud of you, kid. Always will be. Go be happy. Love you.

Song story

Background

Justin is 34 — the big brother who taught his sister Lauren to drive, helped her haul boxes up the stairs of six different apartments, and always picked up when she called, no matter the hour. On her wedding day, instead of a toast he'd only fumble, he wanted to say how proud he is to watch her start this chapter. He made a heartfelt ballad for her.

Message

Lauren, I taught you to drive, hauled boxes up the stairs of about six different apartments with you, and picked up every time you called, whatever the hour. Today you're starting something new, and instead of a toast I'd just fumble, I'll say it straight: I'm not handing you off to anybody. I'm watching you step into a life you built — with a guy who'd better know how lucky he is. I'm so proud of you, kid. Always will be. Go be happy. Love you.
