If I could do anything differently, I would have reached out to him sooner. I ask myself, “Why didn’t I?” I don’t know. Maybe it’s just so easy to not do anything. I feel sad for my dad and my brother and their relationship. They are so close now, and I think it’s sad that they missed out on a lot of life together. If anybody is really thinking about reconciling, I would tell them to reach out, to do it, to take that step if you feel in your gut that it’s what you should do. I should have done it earlier.
