Before today, I hadn't spoken to my brother Greg in at least 6 months, probably not since last Christmas. All I remember then was he was distant and rather rude, and I was more than annoyed at him. But he's my brother. He's Mr. Guacamole Bush. I still wish I knew what he was doing most days. I know he's not talking to my parents, either - they always ask me how he is, if I talk to him. I wish I could answer them sometimes.

Greg was online MSN today. I didn't think before today to try his hotmail account on the messenger. Duh. He's getting the same kinds of headaches I get, which sucks for him. I wouldn't wish migraines on any sentient being. Mom says he's losing weight and looks sick, but he wasn't online long enough for me to ask. Homework. Says he can't find a job anywhere. I would guess that, along the lines of my own head torture, his are caused greatly by stress. Sucks.

I miss my little brother. I know he's not particularily little anymore, and he's gotta figure life out for himself (rather like the rest of us), but it doesn't mean I don't miss when I was a person in his life. I miss sitting with his dumbass friends, watching them laugh at me trying to play JetMoto or Super Mario Kart. I miss being a part of his life, I guess, mostly because he closed the door on me...because I left.

It's hard growing up. It's even harder when you grow apart. I hope he takes care of himself.

One day you’ll walk the world
and keep in mind
The heart you’ve been given
in winter time
And through the bitter cold,
with opened eyes
You’ll find the strength to fight
and stand upright
