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.
i feel you, me and my brother are really close so it was pretty sad not having him around.
that is tough. i have two older brothers, so i know how that is. we are separated by four and eight years, respectively, so we were not as close as you two seem to be, but i always liked having them around.
