I have one brother named Doug. He has been an amazingly good brother. He was the first of five while I was the second. Doug turned 70 today. The shortness of life started to hit me when I was starting to finish my PhD and it is kind of a shock that we are now at a place that seemed such a long way off just not too long ago. I am very grateful for my brother. We have not always agreed on everything, but we have always gotten along fine. It is an unbelievable joy, now that we are old, to reconnect as we both move into retirement and realize that we have so much in common and enjoy talking through it all. We plan to work at getting together much more often. My hope is that I can get together with all my amazing siblings again at our house for my 70th birthday whether that be in Texas or Mexico.
