Sometimes I read these and want to eat them. How else will I make sure they are inside me?

I'm sorry he's moving. I have a more distant relationship with my (younger) brother but the thought of becoming a visitor to his life brought me to tears, even though I basically am already (albeit not geographically).

I sometimes feel a jolt of envy reading how other families work, siblings embedded in lives, even in the taciturn. For you, I love that you had this time together, and I'm sorry that it changes. I know too well of wet fingers on a blazing hot sparkler, turning off the faucet; I'm glad you are letting it out.

Siblings you can count on priceless. Lucky to have two.

A sentence in this one made me think a throwing muses song, counting backwards.
