Unfortunately one of the things they arranged for was a male striptease dancer. I had never seen a performance of this kind and was not prepared for it. The dancer brought some taped music and started to dance to it removing More and More of his clothing As he went along. When he was Down to nearly nothing i stepped in and said a a that a  then i sent him away. The women in the audience ranged from infants in arms teen agers adults a to a lady near 80 some laughed and applauded and a few had started to leave. The Bride to be said if i had not stopped it she herself would have gotten up and left. I later Learned that they paid this Man Well Over $ 100 for his services now i would hesitate to hold another Shower Here dear Abby or go to someone else a because apparently this is the thing to do.

I have wanted to Tell him Many times that i am concerned about his health his family and his future but i never seem to find the right words or the right time. Even though he lives Only 45 minutes away i would like to write him a letter because i think i could express myself better that Way but someone told me that this is cowardly a that i should Tell him face to face. Do you think i should write to him Abby and if 1 do have you any suggestions about How to handle such a letter 1 realize that i can to Force him to do anything but id never be Able to live with myself if something alcohol related should happen to him and i had not spoken up. A worried sister dear sister there is nothing a a cowardly about expressing yourself in a letter. Your brother already knows that lie Hasa problem but he May not be aware that someone Vns loves him is genuinely concerned about his health ins family and his future. Telling him face to face might cause him to be defensive. He May even deny that tie has a drinking problem and Tell you to mind your business. But if you express your genuine concern in a letter he will have something to read and reread. Write Straig from the heart. Avoid being preachy or judgmental letter May be exactly what your brother needs to map him to seek help for his problem. Done to put it off sister. You could not give your Bro or and his family a More valuable gift. C Universal press Syndicate
