My big brother and his family stayed with us this weekend, visiting from California where he is now settled. Last Sunday he took part in a Half Iron Man Triathlon - how cool is that?!
My brother left home to go to University when I was 16 and we have not lived together since. Like most siblings there was sometimes some friction in our relationship! We have not had much opportunity as we've both grown up to spend time together and develop a mature relationship.
On Friday night we went out for dinner, possibly the first time we've been on our own in 20 years! Yesterday, we all spent the day at the Natural History Museum in 
London. He has read my children stories, run round the block with them, swung them on his legs, carried them on his shoulders, looked at their drawings and listened to their jokes. Today we ran together and then, after Sunday Morning Brunch, they headed back to the airport and I shed a few tears.

How wonderful that you were able to reconnect with your brother and spend time with his family, too!
