I am sure you will miss him a bunch....but at least you won't have that idle time to dwell on it. When I was on my trip, I made the kids the focus and it about making it fun for them. For me the hardest part was waking up first thing in the morning and my W not being there.
It sounds like your brother is going to take good care of you though.
