As adults the child-sibling relationship evolves into something completely and totally different. Just as a parent-child relationship changes. If you were not all that close to him to begin with (and that is not a bad thing) when that relationship evolves into an adult friendship the relationship will seem to disapate. I have three brothers, I was extreamly close to all three growing up, but as the years went by we lost that connection. my eldest brother and I have gone two years without hearing from one another. We both know our love is there, but we do have our own lives, our own families ect. I am still very close to my second oldest brother, but he is the one who maintains that relationship, he visits he calls. Recently I spent Christmas with my youngest brother and his wife... I have not seen him for three years, no phone calls, no communication unless of course you consider ICQ a form of communication, and even that was rare. My youngest bro is the one I raised, I often felt guilty for not upkeeping the relationship, but realized that we are in our own ways. Hope this helps
Hugs
