I got a call that my younger brother was in the hospital so I left work early and trotted down to see him. When I walked into his room I got a shock at the stranger in the bed. I haven't seen my brother in almost a year and he's been treated for cancer - now in remission - and was presently in to have two more stents put in him. He was heavier, paler and completely bald. It took me a moment to realize he was the splitting image of my Uncle Frank who was always bald.
I never saw any family resemblance in my younger brother until that point. It was remarkable. I look like my mom, my older brother is like my dad but my younger brother? I puzzled for years where in the family tree he came from.
He's recovering and going home today. My older brother showed up after a time and we all yucked it up for about an hour and a half. So, I guess all is well for the moemnt.
