Re: A Matter of Pride       03/09/06 01:28 PM Edit Reply Quote Portageegal Reged: 06/28/05 Posts: 940 Loc: Massachusetts I loved Richie, aside from the fact that when I met him he had had 2 strokes and could only say a few words, couldn't use his left arm, and dragged his leg a little. Even when he got to be in a nursing home, in a wheelchair and wearing diapers, I loved him in a way I never have loved. The day he died a big part of me died, too. The other thing is having the nerve to contact my half brother and say "Hi, you don't know it but I'm your sister". He had been bothered by the fact that his mother would never tell him who his real father was. We were both close 50. He lives in CA now, but we are very close. He e-mailed me this week that the brother he grew up with is dieing of cancer and doesn't have long. He lost a baby brother when he was 12. If I hadn't written that letter he would be the last one. Now he still will have two siblings. -------------------- Carol nós somos o que nós somos e o descanso é merda Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
