I know that my mother always wished we'd get along better, so the least I can do is make an effort - and my brother, who lived with her, is pretty much alone now except for his dog. I actually think he prefers it that way, he's never been very sociable, but he's always quite chatty when I stop by and he does go out of his way on my birthday and Christmas.
