I enjoyed your blog, Lizzy!
I can relate as I have very strong relationships with my siblings. (I have an older brother, older sister, and a younger brother.) Growing up at home with my younger brother, I felt protective of him yet I had the whole mentality "no one can pick on my brother but me!" Now that my siblings and I are all 21+ years of age, we all still get along and have very healthy relationships. Though we have each grown into our own self, we will always still have one thing in common: we grew up with the same crazy parents. (No my parents aren't crazy, but when all of us get together, we sure can make it sound that way by exchanging stories.) Relationships with siblings can be long lasting friendships/bonds that not even long distance can interfere.
Continue appreciating your brother. It's terribly unfortunate when siblings cannot foster such a unique relationship.
