Distant in all the ways that matter, but we check in every once and a while.

When I say every once and a while, I saw one of my brothers about 5 years ago... after not having seen him for nearly 20.

My sister doesn't talk to me because I told our mother that her child (she put her up for adoption when she was born because my sister was YOUNG) is alive and wants to connect. I haven't seen my sister in more than a decade

My eldest brother is the closest, and I'll be seeing him soon. I know almost nothing about his personal life, and probably won't see him again for at least a year

We're all extremely different people
