I forgot another thing that happened to Helen..one time she was coming home from school, and she used to cut through the gang way of a neighbors house on one street, and that gang way led to where she was living....

The neighbor lady was sitting on her porch, and she told Helen, "You dont live there anymore"...apparently my grandmother made a move when my dad and Helen went to school...she told my dad, of course, because he was so extra special, but she never told Helen that they were moving...

It was just a few doors down from where they lived before, but it was just that fact that my grandmother never told Helen...when Helen finally got to the newer house, delivered by the neighbor, my dad was already there...

Poor Helen, the family moved, and no one told her...

seems like your dad was scamp
and Helen was not doted on

I'm not surprised Helen and your dad always loved each other and helped each other
I don't remember my mom favoring my brother over me when we were kids
but now
as Bill said ''I think your mom forgets you exist''
yet yesterday when I was troubled and called my brother
there are no words for how understanding, kind, loving, helpful my brother was
we had gone our own way in recent years, after having been so close as kids
but when I needed help yesterday, no one could have been kinder
Love, Palo

it is raining
at same time setting Sun is turning top of tree red gold
amidst the thunder
the tree top is irradiated
it is exquisite sight
