My brother and I have never been absolutely close.
He recently moved back to the city with his 3 children, he was gone for 15 years while he was married to his wife.
They separated a few months ago and my brother moved back to the city so he could be close to my mom and dad. I had not seen my brother in an absolutely long time. It was pressing to my mom plus dad that we reconnect. It was a little strange and awkward at first, but my brother and I reconnected and we started talking. I found out that he stopped calling because of his wife. He wasn’t absolutely allowed to have friends or talked to the family. I told my brother all about me and my life. Since he has been gone, I have graduated from school and I now work as a repair professional for a heating and AC repair supplier. I acquired a good wage and I love finally working for a small supplier. My brother asked a lot of questions about my life and my new work. We had a good conversation and I was ecstatic my mom and dad forced us to reconnect. When my brother needed help with the furnace last weekend, he called me first. Of course, I was glad to help my brother with the furnace problem and I got to spend a little bit of time with my nieces and nephews that barely know my name. I absolutely hope my brother will stick around for a while.
