My Brother and I :: Example Personal Narratives

My Brother and I   My crony and I did not have a great adult relationship. Due to his hurtful teasing of me when we were teenagers and somewhat precise hurtful things he express to me the day of our mothers funeral, we had not communicated well in the cardinal years since her death.   In May, 2000, my father and I spent four days with my companion, sister-in-law and their two daughters. When I spoke with my brother on his birthday a month earlier, I asked if he and I could have some alone time when Daddy and I visited the following month. My brother said we could find time alone. That time came the evening before Daddy and I left to return home.   My brother and I settled on the screened-in porch. I was almost to read a letter I had written him, outlining my answer to what he had said to me in 1996 and giving him the necessary bear outground culture he needed to know BEFORE he spoke to me the office he did. He offered to read the letter himself. I gladly le t him. I had no idea how he would respond to the letter. After many drafts, it stated exactly what I needed and wanted to rate to him. I had no expectations at all about the route this conversation would take. I told myself I was capable of handling anything that came up for discussion.   My brothers first comment was, Well, I will have to change some perceptions I have had about you. I was flattered and thanked him. He said he would always be my brother and would always say what he felt. He launched into some observations he had do about me in the four days we had been there...I acknowledged them and said my goals for the pass was to actively address those observations and make necessary changes. (I am proud to say I have achieved the major goal of weight loss and protrude to keep it off.) I do some observations of my own and assured my brother that, contrary to his beliefs, I was not dependent on our father back home. (Our father lives about ten minutes away. He is 75, i n slightly good health and does help me on occasion) I also made some observations of my own and expressed concerns I had about my brother.
