I’ve been missing my brother like crazy for the past couple week and been thinking I need to reach out to Gerald. But you never know if my brother will answer messages or not. My Aunt has tried to keep in contact with him and he keeps brushing her off.
I had a copy of Bond of Brothers Our Stories, Our Legacies laying on my desk and I could hear someone say open the book and see what these men have to say. The more I read of there story the more I was drawn back into my childhood and all the antics my brother and I did. As well as times we let my sister join us.
Through this novel I can see a lot of families being reunited with there siblings. Charlie liked learning they trained Dolphins and I know Suzzie would have liked this as well.
About the book:
In this sequel to their memoir, Two Jersey Brothers, Bob and Nick Finamore recount stories from their adult lives. It’s all here – Together at Paterson Central High School, Bob’s football success, Nick’s aviation adventures, Bob’s U.S. Army and teaching years, Nick’s music and AT&T careers.
Their brother-to-brother storytelling takes you inside their lives, from training with the New York Jets to saving Dolphins at the Jersey Shore to comforting their 102-year-old mother on her deathbed. All the while they reveal the secrets of an enduring fraternal bond and the one core meaning in both their lives.
My family loved learning about there careers including Nick becoming a Pilot because David works at the Airport and he liked learning about others who deal with Planes. I liked learning Nick was a Pianist. Charlie enjoyed learning about Nicks career in athletics and if we had still be #Homeschooling we would have studied him in our Homeschool PE Classes.
The book is broken down into chapter for adults and my family would read a couple chapters at night before bed as a family and discuss what he had learned. The story has even made Charlie think about his Siblings from David and both David and Charlie have been thinking about reaching out to them.
