Cheryl - So glad your brother had a nice birthday&#33; That&#39;s your other brothers&#39; loss to choose not to be in his life&#33; You&#39;re right about &quot;family matters&quot; being left up to the girl in the family - I&#39;m the youngest of 4 - 3 older brothers (one now deceased) and I was always the one expected to &quot;take care&quot; of Mom and Dad. I don&#39;t know why that&#39;s so true but I know it&#39;s different in some families - the way it should be&#33;<br /><br />We&#39;re expected to have rain all day and into the night....although it is not raining now...there are flood watches and warnings all over the place&#33;
