I have 4 brothers. 3 older, 1 younger. He was 20 mos younger than I. We were each other's playmates and enemies and everything we had to be for each other in a poor, small town upbringing. He died when he was 17. Far too young. And though I love my older brothers dearly, I feel like a piece of me has been missing for so long. I wish your brother a happy birthday and wish you a lifetime of pulling each other's fingers. Thanks for letting me get that out :) Well christ on a cracker, this hit me hard.

It took us decades before we started bonding. Enjoy each other. Your writing is terrific, said the school teacher. My brother, sister, and I were totally pitted against each other growing up.

Because we understand each other so well, I feel like I've been able to live through his experiences in addition to my own. Now that I may very well be on the second half of my life, I'm more and more grateful for this. Great post, My brother and I took very different career/life paths.
