My brother Russ never ceases to amaze me.Although extremely close in our relationship we differ on many political and social issues.Yesterday for over two hours we had a conversation about immigration, social issues and the world of politics. The time flew past and neither one of us was at any given time trying to win an argument or convert the other. It was about listening to understand what we believe and why that was important for us. Because of this open posture there were many times where common ground surfaced. It was so refreshing in this time when it is so difficult to have this kind of exchange without vitriol .There are so many reasons to love my brother and yesterday was one more wonderful experience.
