Staying in touch

Tweet

Do you stay in touch with brothers and sisters or other family members on a regular basis? I have one younger brother, who lives about 86 miles from me. We try to stay in touch as much as possible but with both us having families, sports, etc. we don't see each other as often as we like but we stay in touch via phone, email, and Facebook. There was a time after my mom passed away I went through a major depression and lost contact with my brother, but that has passed and we are closer than ever. My mom had stepped away from all of her family after she lost her husband and both parents within 18 months. So it was just my mom, brother and I for a long time before we got married and started our own families. Last year, my brother and I reunited with my mom's brother. He didn't even know she had passed away. This past winter, my uncle found his twin sister and we went and visited her. It is so awesome to have reconnected after 25 years.
