Call my brother more often

My brother’s 16, and he’s a boy. He doesn’t really like to talk on the phone, so when I call him, it isn’t very stimulating conversation. It’s much easier to text him, which I do pretty often. I tried, but I’m going to give up for now since I held up my end of it. :) Maybe in a few years he’ll want to talk on the phone with his big sister. If not, that’s all good with me.

My brother came to see me today! He lives on the other side of the state-the state being Colorado, the other side being across the Rocky Mountains-so it was pretty far to come for just two and a half days. My dad brought him out and my grandma is taking him back, since she needed to go to Denver anyway. It was nice to see him. He’s finally taller than me, which doesn’t make him short…he’s only 15 and I’m 5’10” so he’s taller than average. I’d say he’s 5’11” or so now. The doctor said he’d hit 6’4”, but I’m betting on 6’2”. I was able to give him his Christmas present finally—he loves Tenacious D so I bought him their Masterworks DVD. I think he liked it. Anywho…I’ve written down in my calendar to call him this coming Sunday to see how he’s doing.

My brother is 14 years younger than me. He’s going to be 16 this year and he’s having a rough time. He’s overweight, spends all his time in the basement, and seems depressed to me. I hardly ever check up on him…he never really has much to say. Our dad is pretty hard on him, but then everyone else is too easy on him. There’s no balance. I just want him to know that I love him and I’m there for him. I haven’t even seen him since before Christmas. We’re each other’s only siblings, so he doesn’t have anyone else in that role.

my brother just called and it looks like his girlfriend will most likely miscarry soon. he is so sad and worried about his girlfriend. i hate that this is happening to him. they deserve some happiness. there is a small chance the pregnancy could survive, but it doesn’t look good. wtf?

talked to my brother last night and it looks as tho i may become an aunt in 8 months or so!!!!!!!!! still really early, but i’m soooooooooooooooo excited!

left him a message. i know he’s working but i wanted to call him before the day got away from me. i hope he can come cheer me on at the 10k this saturday. we’ll see…

had a lovely talk and discussed how we need to see each other more often.

there, called him. had a nice conversation. was that really so hard?
