Amen CSC!! Behind the saddness and guilt, there is a small spark of -- "I'm FREE!" 'Bout time....!!
And yeah, Dad put my brother up to calling... God forbid he EVER did anything he needs to apologize for... On his own! He prides himself on being such a "man." And yet has to work through his youngest son to do his dirty work... Sad.
Thanks as always for your input!!
