I Want Today was a day brother and I spoke via cable and line he said, after some communiqué “You should….” in his own way, in lingo of brother/sister He said, “You should…” And my first thought was, I am being selfish My second thought I am being really selfish Because I had let him in on a secret… but he held himself out as a real brother, holding nothing back… letting me fling forward… believing in me… ME! Had I not been sitting down… but I was in my room, he was in his and he encouraged me… I am older, he is younger… he encouraged me…. my job is not over… I need to see him through things what he said, in so many unspoken words, was…. do it. I shall. But not for me. |

When it comes to brothers and sisters, age doesn't matter... it's the love we sometimes forget we have. Very good write |

Karilea - it is so good to have someone, especially a brother or sister believe in you and encourage you. Smiles from this one. Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

"You should" are two words I actually hate hearing, but I suppose if I had a brother or sister that cared it would have a different connotation. Nice you feel this way about him, but does he mean "you should" for you maybe, and not him? Nicely done Sunshine. |

Yes, Mysteria, it was the sharing of "my" want...and his encouragement that "I" should...so in this aspect, "You Should" carries ALL of the right connotations... thanks, everyone, for sharing this one with me! |
