["I haven't seen my brother for ten years before he came to visit me in January.", 'Oh my, it must have been an exciting time for you seeing your brother after such a long time', 'It was. I was a little nervous too but we had such a great time catching up.']
I can understand why it would be a little nerve wracking but I am glad you caught up with him
January my brother came to visit me. I haven't seen him in ten years. I was a little nervous before he arrived.
