I have one brother and we are one year apart in age. I can say that our relationship is good but isn't as close as we'd both like.

We evaluate our relationship about once a year and agree to making more effort on being closer but then we often fall into same hole of not talking to each other much beyond superficial small talk. We are there for each other in times of need but when crisis is over it slows down

Both my brother and I talked about lack of depth in our relationship with our parents. It is all superficial. We try to raise our own kids differently and do make an effort to be close to each other even though it's not always working the way we'd like

I love my brother tremendously though and vice versa. Sometimes we have to accept that things are the way they are. Accept what is rather than trying to change it. But it is important to try to improve
