I think deceased brothers count as brothers permanently. My Only Brother is the only one I’ve ever had.

True. I can’t erase the Brother who left me Behind any more than the Other Brother and the Sister who left me Behind. And the ones on my dad’s side that I’ve never met — a Sister and two more Brothers.

Counting all of them, and the three marriages between my parents, there were 10 of us. And three different last names! It’s mind boggling.

And before I forget again, that same crow I saw stealing an egg last week or the week before, took another one. This time from a small brown wren. It’s something to see when a tiny bird parent goes after a baby-thief that is 10 times the size of the parent. Losing battle, though. :o[
