A Close-Knit Family

Anna has two brothers, Jake and Sam. Jake is 5 years older than her, and Sam is 3 years younger. Even though there is an age gap, Anna and her brothers are very close. Growing up, they did everything together—playing games, going to the park, and helping each other with homework. Now, as adults, they still spend a lot of time together. Jake works as a software engineer, while Sam is studying medicine. Anna, who is in college, always calls them when she needs advice or support. They rarely argue, and even when they do, they always find a way to make up. Anna is grateful to have such supportive and caring brothers. Their family is very close, and they make it a point to have family dinners every Sunday.
