I AM RETIRED, 65 YRS, WHITE FEMALE. I'M FROM A LARGE FAMILY. I AM THE BABY OF EIGHT. I HAD 5 BROTHERS, 4 OF THEM WERE MILITARY. ONE MADE A CAREER OUT OF IT. LAST SEPT. MY HUSBAND, DAVID AND I WENT TO MARSHALLTOWN, IA FOR MY OLDEST BROTHERS MEMORIAL SERVICE. HE WAS A VETERAN OF WORLD WAR 11. THERE 20YRS DIFFERENCE IN OUR AGE, BUT IN HIS LATER YEARS HE SEEMED TO CLING TO ME. HIS DAUGHTER-IN-LAW SAID IT WAS BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT EVER CHECKED ON HIM. THAT BROKE MY HEART. SO NOW MY REMAINING 4 SYBILINGS HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO TALK TO ME. I REALLY DO HATE THAT FOR THEM. THEY ARE MISSING SOME GOOD TIMES AND SO AM I.
