I flew home from London to surprise my mother on her 70th birthday and walked into a wedding reception in her backyard. The groom was my 26-year-old brother, who has Down syndrome.

I opened a small law practice in Savannah. I bought a house with a spare room.

Petey still calls me every Sunday at 4 p.m. sharp.


Even though now I’m sitting right next to him on the couch, watching the Braves.

THE END.
