"And for Michael," the lawyer said, "the family business. The usual." My brother was the logical one, the practical one. He wanted the business, and he expected the responsibilities. I was given something different.

He was the logical one. I was given a small sailboat. It was beautiful, white and gleaming in the summer sun. I walked along the dock, my feet barely touching the boards.

I climbed aboard. As I set sail, the wind filled the sails, and I had a sense of unbridled joy. I found myself smiling, laughing even. It felt as though I was reborn.
