be closer to my brother

I’m not sure what is the normal/standard sibling talk time , but I’m pretty sure that I am below average on this one. My brother and I never got into a huge fight, but we drifted apart in high school, and then basically never talked to each other in college except if we were home at the same time for holidays. It has gotten so bad that when I mention that I do have a brother, my friends would stare incredulously at me and tell me that they thought I was an only child. The point is I know he’s going through an important transition right now, family is family and I’m going to make an effort to call him and talk to him each month. I noticed there’s quite a lot of people who want to be closer to their brother, I know it’s not easy to be the first one to pick up the phone, but I wish everyone the best of luck.
