a few years back my brother left for college and i had one year of high school left. it was weird having the house be so empty.
well, absence always does make the heart grow fonder. it will make your relationship a little strained, but the time you guys do get to spend together maybe will mean more and you can enjoy it more. hopefully his college work does not stress him out too much for him to be able to enjoy hanging out.
i feel you, me and my brother are really close so it was pretty sad not having him around.
