i need someone to confirm for me that "our common father" refers to washington. because if so i am ready to scream my head off.
“Hamilton was to me, my dear Sir, more than friend, he was a brother. We were both very young, when associated with our common father; our friendship, formed in days of peril and glory, suffered no diminution from time: with Tilghman and with Laurens, I was upon terms most affectionate; but with Hamilton, my relations were brotherly.”
— Marquis de Lafayette to George Washington Parke Custis when the latter asked Lafayette for his reaction to Hamilton’s death.

this is so bittersweet i can't
the fact that lafayette's saying he loves tilghman and laurens but hamilton was his BROTHER
need someone to answer because if so this only deepens my love for their trio dynamic
the idea that lafayette and washington had a strong paternal affection for each other that was very mutual
and that compared to washington and hamilton having this more complicated relationship
where as far as we know neither party fully committed
but the trust there! the fact that they were by each other's side for so long
idc if it's wishful thinking
i choose to believe that near the end hamilton and washington came to terms with their affection for each other
and so washington's adopted son calls his principal aide his “brother” I CAN'T
