Being a man of your word doesn't pay the bills but here I am
Made a promise to my brother 15 years ago that I'd help him out if he ever needed it. Well he needs it now and it's gonna cost me about 8 grand I don't really have. My wife thinks I'm crazy for following through, says blood doesn't mean you have to go broke. But a man's word is his honor. Did the right thing anyway. Figured there's guys on here who understand that's just how you operate.
That's solid man. Keeping your word even when it costs you something is what being a man is actually about. Your brother is lucky to have family like that.
