One night, I was sitting in my kitchen half listening as my 15-year-old brother Tommy fought with my 12-year-old brother Kevin. I didn’t notice when Kevin ran up the stairs with hurt on his face. About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked at the door and asked, ―Hey, Kevin, do you want to talk?‖ No answer. I tried again, ―Hey, why don’t you come out of there?‖ Again, no answer. So I took stack of cards and a pencil and wrote, ―If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.‖
An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of cards in front of me. One was blank and the other was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all his unpleasant feelings into words for me. When I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, ―Nobody in this family cares about me, I’m not clever. Tommy thinks I’m a fool and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.‖
Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. It was true what he said about me. I wrote back, ―You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it to you.‖
There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of cards wrote on a torn-up paper cup, ―Thanks.‖
I wrote back ―For what?‖ It returned to me with ―loving me‖ written on it. After that, I try my best no never only half notice my family member any more. Kevin and I have a closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset we’ll smile and say ―Write it on a paper cup.‖
