I should talk to my brother more often.
Yeah, even if it takes several tries to make contact.
I'm really bad at keeping in touch.
My mother served as a filter/censor among my father, my sister and myself. After she died my sister and I made a conscious effort to phone each other about once a week. We really don't have much in common, but we do keep in touch.
We haven't seen each other in about 3 years, but the PR and I are hoping to visit her in November for a few days.
I've one brother I have a lot in common with. We sometimes don't talk for months. But, when we do pick up the phone, we get cut off now and then, because of an automatic breaking of the connection after a set time. 2 hours I think. And then we call again. We walk through the house, talking. And nearly get tired from all the walking.
Another brother, we regularly talk, also without an effort. My youngest brother, I really have to make the effort, and same is true for him. It just isn't there naturally. We are very different. We do like each other. But, the way we live and approach life are very different even when our interests are similar. He lives close to my mother. So, I do see him, via her. When it comes to our looks, he and I are undeniably siblings.
