For about a decade I answered every call from my older brother, even when they only came around when his rent was short. I would drive out to his place in Aurora, hand him cash, and listen to the same speech about how this time was different. Now his number just sits there and I let it ring. The thing nobody tells you is how quiet it gets after, and how some folks act like you owe them an explanation. For those who've done this, how long did it take before the guilt stopped showing up on random Tuesdays?
