Wonderful insightful piece. I was the "baby" of the family. Middle sister 7 years older, oldest brother 9 years older. I never felt close to my brother; I did to my sister but she passed in 1995 from a heart attack. I always feel subtle pressure from friends to say I love my brother, but I just don't. Given his descent into the maga-verse I'm not even sure I can say I like him much, either.
