Always remember that he/she is still your sibling – still the kid you played tag with, still the kid you fought with, still the kid you collected butterflies in a jar with – still your sib. Love them, love them, love them and be there and available for them. Regardless of where or if they are davening, keep in touch. Be welcoming to them always and as long as the pathway they have chosen is a legal one, include them in your family activities – they may or may not choose to come. Eventually, they may decide the way they were raised is the best way.
