In a way, I can understand your brother. I think he's probably scared of getting older and doesn't appreciate change and hopes that everything will go on as it always has. I think we all hope that as we age, but sadly in some cases this isn't so. I have a brother, who is slightly younger than me and I too worry about him. There are things I know he should do as he ages, but talking to him about them is like hitting myself on the head and so I give up till the next time ! I wish I knew what the answer was, but I don't. I understand him though because sometimes I feel the same way and expect to go on always as I have done !
