amilies are the people you probably have the most to learn from about who you are. They are the people you are stuck with for life, even if you do not get along or cannot support each other in what you do.

If you can learn to be civil and loving and respectful to these people, you will have made your- self whole. But that takes effort from other family members as well. : :

The note in Dad’s -wallet said, “Three years. Mission accomplished! Three years ago you changed — - my life. Don’t complain about the conflict I caused

- you...”

It was my brother Anthony who found the note. Dad had asked him to look through his coat pocket for something. As he flipped through Dad’s stuff, maybe a bit too thoroughly for whatever he was asked to find, what caught his eye were the words “I love you” on a piece of paper. He took the note and carried it around with him for six months — didn’t tell anyone. Finally he told me about it.

We pretty well figured the note was for a secre- tary at Dad’s work. Anthony wanted to stalk Dad to find out more. He was sure the people at Dad’s work world tell him where Dad had gone to lunch and that he would find him there with the woman.

My brother Rob didn’t want us to talk to Dad about the affair. He said, “Let’s just let it go. Let’s just let things sink back to normal. I’m good at pretend- ing, and I can pretend everything is okay. Let’s just forget it ever happened. Besides, Dad knows you two better anyway. All he does with me is joke around, and I just joke back to keep things pleasant.”

My brothers are so different. | think I'm the in-between, even though I’m the oldest. Anthony is impulsive. All he knows is what he feels, which makes him smart in a way. He uses anger to get what he scmdetasinne gaps.

wants, to get others to back down, to give in to him.

Rob is quite the opposite. He’s the scientist. He lives in his head. He’s very judgmental and often doesn’t approve of what Anthony does.

Anthony is just different — he doesn’t fit in. I don’t know where he gets it from. He’s really neat and I admire him. But when he was little, Rob and I were constant companions, and we ended up leaving | Anthony out of our adventures because he was too young. I only really started talking to Anthony when he was fourteen and I was eighteen. Until then, I thought we would never get along at all.

Rob has disciplined himself to have the patience to observe things. He thinks very hard about stuff. And he also keeps everything he thinks about very

much in his head. continued on next page...
