I appreciated this story. Jennifer sounds like a real treasure. Similarly, myself and my younger brother didn't get on well when growing up. Then by a strange fluke we ended up living an hour's drive from each other - as immigrants in a different country! I sometimes miss not having a full complement of family and longstanding friends around, but it is reassuring to know that lil bro is a stone's throw away. You remind me that I must let him know that I'm grateful to have him in my life (which wasn't always the case ;-).
