Anna,
I can feel your pain and apprehension. I haven't seen my brother in 2 years. He is 22 years old and lives in the same state. It was his decision to separate himself from my parents, thus leaving me as well. He didn't even come to my wedding. Its very strange, when we are together, we are very close and have fun. We understand eachother and I have no idea why he wont contact me. The pain I feel, as I'm sure you as well, really hurts.

I just know it will work out. You both care about eachother, and thats enough. I love what Rosebel posted, it really is true if you open your heart to forgiveness.

I'll be praying for you and your brother.

Take care.
