Ask Amy: Conference attendee has a professional beef
Dear Amy: “Engaged and Worried” didn’t ask his much-younger brother to be in his wedding. Your response was spot on!
I too had a brother 12 years younger, and I headed off to college and the service when he was only six. Although he meant a lot to me, the vast difference in our ages and outlook was always too much to completely erase.
It is still a major source of regret.
Nevertheless, he was an important part of my wedding, a decision which has grown in significance now that he is gone.
He died of AIDS in his 30s, and left a hole in my life.
Jim, I still miss you and will love you always.
– Loving Brother
Dear Loving Brother: Here’s to Jim. RIP, dear brother.
