Years ago I was a mentor through Big Brothers
Good young kid. Father in prison. Aunt sometimes in prison. Other aunt fabulous. Grandma fabulous. At our peak, we’d hang out more than once a week.
We grew apart 12 or so years ago when he was in his mid teens.
I looked him up. Father suicide in prison. Grandma died. He’s incarcerated and has mental health issues.
Looking inward, there’s nothing there but sadness tinged with regret.
