I have 3 older brothers. The one closest in age was my nemesis when we were growing up. Back in 1986, he was in a terrible accident. While in the hospital he called me – in tears – and apologized for every mean thing he ever did to me when we were kids…and itemized them. I swear, some of them he either made up or got from TV (one of the side effects of the accident was it messed with his memory). We’ve been closer than close ever since, until he died last September. (The other 2 brothers were wonderful; one I call Big Buddy & he calls me Little Buddy, which started when I was 6 and in the hospital. The other I call my Rock, because he’s always there when I need him, even if not physically.)
