A bit down...

What do you do when someone is down and you can't be there to help? My brother was home for the holidays and it was pretty clear that he isn't himself. He lives on the other side of the state and I only see him occasionally. I believe the problem lies in the fact that he is now the only one of his friends who is not in a relationship. Several of his friends got married this year and a couple had their first child. He is used to being able to come home and spend time with his buddies but everyone was tied up this year. I wish there were something I could do to let him know he is not alone despite how it feels. My best effort is to increase communication with him and help him feel connected to our family.
