Beautiful story. I’m the eldest and have a younger sister and much younger brother. I live in Sydney, while my sister and brother live in Perth and Kuala Lumpur respectively with their families. We might only see each other once a year or during family reunions and I guess distance sometimes makes it more difficult to develop a closer relationship although social media and technology has made communication so much easier. Our world is a lot smaller when we can send pics, exchange banter and chat in an instant.

if you drink too much beer and you sit to much on a couch, you’ll develop the dreaded Pot Belly’;,

This is such a pretty post! Love the relationship you have with your little bro. I have an older brother.. and we’re quite close, and its funny he’s moved home recently in my last weeks at home, but he also has a girlfriend now, so its just a tad bit different, but I still love him the same.

OMG, love these Vietnamese restaurant eats!

I understand ‘unni’ all too well. We Nigerians have the same thing, even when the elder is only so by hours, it is exercised to the limit! I don’t live close to my siblings but we’re still close…somehow. Most of us see each other often and speak even more so!

What a great story and tribute to your brother. Loved it! I also remember and really enjoyed 4 Sisters when I lived in Arlington – it was at the old location then and this place looks much fancier!

aawww awesome pics. You,Joanna and your brother all look fabulous. My sister is married and living across the country but Im still super close to her and we talk all the time. Its even more fun now cause we are less like sisters but more like really close friends. I love our relationship. Im sure you and your brother will remain close no matter what=) Take care!

i have a big brother, and our relationship has definitely improved from the days when we used to live under the same roof (he used to torture me)

It’s funny to hear you say how much time flies and how you wish you could slow it down. It’s funny because I thought only we OLD folks said that. Hah. You are too young to be feeling the passing of the years so quickly. But then again, maybe it’s part and parcel of the society we live in now. We’re so connected 24-7 that I think a lot of times our attention is on all the little things in our lives. We forget to take the time to step back to look at the bigger picture. And when we finally, do, boy, are we surprised at the big changes that have occurred. Here’s to all of us looking at life more with not only through a close-up lens, but a wide-angle one, too.
