My eldest brother who lives in the beautiful up state New York along with his second wife and their large brood of children, 5 all together, you know the typical, his, mine and ours kind of family. Hard times seem to be hitting all kinds of people all over, I had the impression that things were going fairly well with them until my mother filled me in otherwise.
He had sent her an email letting her and Dad know that they were going to file bankruptcy and have hired a well known New York bankruptcy lawyer services firm that came highly recommended by his manager at the company where he and his wife both work.
I hope big brother and his family will get through this all right, I worry about him sometimes, but that is what sisters do, at least ours do.
