to my youngest brothers
dear william and jack,
i'm sorry. i'm sorry you have to grow up here. i'm sorry you're relentlessly tested instead of being taught. i'm sorry the air you breathe and the water you drink get dirtier every day. i'm sorry you see war every time you turn on the television. i'm sorry the only reason you have health insurance is because mom was in the military. i'm sorry it will be incredibly difficult for you to pay for college. i'm sorry you live in a country that uses its constitution to deny people their rights. i'm sorry you may never get out of here. i wish i could rescue you. i love you. i'm sorry.
