Time Waits for No One

It's been two years since my mom left her corporal being for a higher plane of existence. She asked that we siblings look out for each other. We have failed. My sister and I are still close, and we always will be. My brother is another story. He has always been of a different mind than me. While I have valued connection to all things, old and new, he has always wanted the next best thing. It has come to a head with the decision to sell our parents' home. My sister and I tried desperately to keep it, but our brother has always wanted to sell. He's getting his way if only as a means for my sister and me to get away from him once and for all. He is not mean, but he is certainly selfish.
