met my brother today for the first time in 21 years. i thought it was 32 but made a mistake. it went ok we talked for close to half an hour, anxiety started rising so we left early. i think it will take time to mend a 21 year old rift. there is bad blood on both sides. so we agreed the past is the past and we rebuild our relationship from now. i was shocked to look at his picture and in person. before we grew old we looked completely different, now we could almost pass for twins, he even has a long white beard like me lol
after seeing other members strugglng with siblings here and some of them reconsiled i figure i need to do it before it's too late. i'm 66 in poor health and he's 70 with two heart attacks. the window was closing. so i reached out with the olive branch and he acted very gracious.
