Can I brag on my brother here?

I sorta raised him, he was born when I was 15.
When he came out, the family shunned him.
We are very close, and i love him dearly.

He has become a good audio book narrator for LGBT community and just sent me notice of the release of his newest audio book:
Coming Out Under Fire: The History of Gay Men and Women in World War ll

Naturally any places where the book is available will show his name, but I won't mention it here.
I am just thrilled to see that after the early years of great difficulty, loss of family support, etc
he has discovered a talent for narration and has chosen to focus on books by and for LGBT folks.

Ok..done bragging on "the kid"...
