Dear Annie:

Thirteen years ago, I started doubting my family’s place in my life. I come from a family of four boys, but only one of my three remaining brothers keeps in touch.

My oldest brother is up in years and no longer able to get around. The middle brother and his wife are the only family members who keep in touch. The last brother lives just two miles away; he and his wife will travel 50 miles to see their daughters and their families instead of stopping by to see me. The last time I saw him, the youngest brother, was at his 50th wedding anniversary last October.
