Siblings' drama
Today is the birthday of both of my brothers. I was happy to talked to my brother in China twice, yesterday before I slept and this morning really early when I woke up. I talked to father, sister-in-law in China and my niece too. Distance can not interrupt the love I have for him. The sad thing is I was not even able to talk to my brother James for more than one minute last night. And he lives and works less than two miles from me. Distance in heart can not be measured by the geographic one. He sounded really busy, annoyed and tired. He was still working at 10:30pm when I called him. And I also heard in the backgroud the busy noice of my sister-in-law, driven, aggressive, annoying, like a whip in the air, behind my brother's ass.
Last year, I called James three times on father's 70's birthday. He still did not managed to call him during that day since he has to attend a vanity nomination banquet hosted by the World Journal. Even he said it was a scamp. But father was definitely disappointed even though he tried to understand. This year, today, is my second brother's 40's birthday. I tried reminding him to call. But he said he was too busy and he would call later. I don't believe he called.
James is very unhappy recently. But he tried to denied it. He gained over 40 lbs in the last two years. He started to develop all kinds of unhealthy symptom. He is scarifying his own happiness and his connection of his family for the stupid ambition and aggression of his wife. He would not listen to me. I even suggested him to see a therapist. He started to look at all relationships from the hole of a ancient Chinese coin, as one of the Chinese idiom says, including relationship with his own family. Any way, I will drag him to see a chiropractor, at least to take care of his ankle problem. And hopefully he will ask me for the number of a Psycho therapist one day.
I often called Marc when I was unhappy with my family here in the U.S. He understands what I have been through
