Email To My Brother: Of Course

My father was sitting alone in the den, TV off.

     He looked sad.

    “What’s the matter, pop?” I asked him, my voice soft.

    “Didn’t you hear?” he said. “Rush Limbaugh died. He was such a good man,” he said between sniffles.

    I was quiet.

    “Would you cry for us if we died?” I finally said. 

    “OF COURSE,” he insisted, and then thought about it. “Well, not for your brother,” he said.
