Becky Robb O'Bryan A sister's memories Rick was my older brother (there were 8 years between us) and a father figure because our Dad was absent from our lives. I realized many years later the impact of losing this older brother when I realized I had married a man just lke Rick, the same age and the same personality. I am pleased about that. I think of Rick now as my younger brother. He is still 19 and I am 50, married 28 years, raised a son, and 30 years as a teacher. I have lived the life he did not and that makes me sad. He is remembered with love. Tuesday, June 01, 2004 |
