I lost a lot of time with my brother because of a dumb argument he and I had. We were always fighting as kids and carried that into adulthood. We lost touch for years. Then his wife pretty much forced him to grow and talk to me so I had to try my best to be mature. This was like 17-18 years ago.
Long story short, as adults we did become close. I found out he was a great guy and he was even looking at transferring from Florida to oHIo so that our families could be closer. The ironic part is he was taken in a car accident while he was driving to the airport he worked at (as an air traffic controller) to find out if the transfer went through
my advice: Now that you and your brother are back in touch don't let him go again. Help as much as you can when you can and just be there. Sounds like me might still be in the 'fucking up process' which will take discipline and patience on your part but in the end it will forge and incredibly strong bond. I wish you the best of luck
