... their children – my nephews and nieces – are American citizens and live here. They greet me with respect and call me uncle.
DEAR AMY: More than 50 years ago, my sister married a guy who skipped the States after being drafted into the U.S. Army .My mother was totally against my sister marrying this guy because he was on the lam.
My sister told our mom that if I wanted to attend the wedding, the invitation was left on top of my mom’s refrigerator. I took it personally because I was married and living with my wife and son and the invitation should have been sent to our home address.They still live outside the country, but their children – my nephews and nieces – are American citizens and live here. They are grown and have kids of their own.My sister and I never got close again.
Your sister’s husband chose to leave the country rather than serve in the military in a war that divided the country along justified matters of conscience.
