And as you have found, now he is one of my closest friends and confidantes, someone I can go to when everyone else would turn away. He’s the only one who truly understands some of the hell of our childhood, and I can’t contemplate the world without him.

I feel like I missed out on something and that I continue missing out on something. That's why I want to have two children, so they can get to the point that you and your brother are at now.</p> I don’t have any siblings.

(I mean literally -- using steel Tonka trucks as weapons, going to the ER for stitches, the whole nine yards.) He's now probably the third coolest person I know. The second-coolest is my sister, who's eight years younger. She's the bat-crazy (but razor-sharp) aunt my kids never knew they needed.</p> The older of my two younger brothers and I, born 18 months apart, beat the hell out of each other until we were both in college.
