Younger Brother

I was watching my young cousin Michael following around his sister's boyfriend. I was reminded of my younger brother. He became very close to my boyfriend when I was a teenager. While I was watching Michael I had mixed emotions, I felt joy and sadness. I felt sad because I remembered after 40 years, my brother was hurt when I was no longer with the boyfriend. Those many years ago, his hurt left an impression upon me. As Micheal disappeared from my sight, I wondered, if his sister was no longer with the boyfriend, would he feel hurt, like my brother.
