I'm 23. I have spent my entire life knowing that I will have to take care of my little sister (20) after my parents pass. We have a weird relationship, since I was her primary care person during my parent's divorce but all through HS we talked great.
Then, I went to college. My little sister has always had severe trouble on the phone. She can't write well either. Basically, we went from talking everyday to when I could visit.

We had a real talk. (Well as far as this goes.
