I learned something today [View all]
I'm staying at my friend's house in the neighborhood I grew up in. She in rehab and not well.I stopped her house to drop off my stuff, then left to go see her. I saw a guy who I thought was a neighbor from way back. He was who I thought he was and we talked for awhile. He was my older brother's age, maybe in between my oldest and next oldest brothers.
My oldest brother and my aunt were killed in a car wreck in 1960, when I was 8. My brother was 16. All of these years, I thought my aunt was driving. He remembered the accident. He liked my Dad and talked him often. Regarding the accident, the neighbor said my Dad told him that my brother was driving. Somehow, the official story said it was my aunt and all of these years, that's what all of us thought, at least I thought so.
All of my family who might have known what version is true are dead, except my sister. I can't imagine how she'll take it. I have been stressed lately and can't process this news, just don't know what to think.
