Growing up we never needed tape, glue or post-its! You get the idea. Now if we could just find a way of getting into this world without having to have a family of origin, we'd have half a chance at turning out ok!!

Fortunately, I've only had a few! I'd say you handled the situation very well! Good for you!

I don't know about telling your brother, got nuthin' for ya there. Well, in all honesty, I don't think it would be terribly wrong to keep it a secret. With some things, it doesn't matter when they find out, and he might react better to it in the wake of grief. But, if your conscience weighs on you, you could tell him the way I told my parents in high school that I was on the pill, "Mom, I'm THINKING of going on the pill..."<BR/><BR/>That did not go well.<BR/><BR/>End of story.angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01686166409869806810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3148147478967571331.post-91412464461852397802007-04-17T11:41:00.000-05:002007-04-17T11:41:00.000-05:00My dad has been gone for five years now.

It's amazing sometimes, when things like this come up, how we act...we impress even ourselves. The whole time we thought we were the only ones changing because we change...and so many are changing right along with us! It's truly awesome...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
