Yesterday my brother was sentenced to thirty years in state prison with no parole. He has a two year old daughter that my mother is raising. All I can think about is the idea that she might never really know him. My brother is a good person. He just made a few mistakes. I wish the law understood things like that. I wish I could see his face right now and call him "big head" and ask him to twist my hair before he goes to work. I wish I hadn't spent the last three years of my life away from him. I wish a lot of things.
Life can really surprise you. Life can really sting.
