Hi,
My little brother married a women with kids (basically grown now). Each of member of his instant family had/has medical problems. He is their physical care taker. And he does the worrying for all of them.

I feel sorry for him.
The family is in a new state of crisis at the moment so I called him today and reminded him to take care of himself, blah, blah, blah.

We talk infrequently.
He and the sil will be vacationing a few hours from me in August, but I am pretty sure that I am not going to visit them -- for many reasons, mostly because of work.

I'm sad for my brother.
I wonder how we end up in the lives that we live.
How do we get here?


M.
