CONGRATS: Michelle Ferrari-Johnson
My sister and I were raised to be really close. It’s been hard to be so far from her after living so close together most of our lives and in some cases living together. I miss her every day and I love her tons. But it’s only a matter of time before we are together again. My sister has been through everything with me and when i think of someone who’s known me all my life aside from my mom, she’s it. I want to give thanks for my sister. She’s been a great friend, an amazing mother and wonderful aunt. We love to shop together, go out to eat and do fun stuff with and without the kids lol. I miss her dearly and I hope she knows how much I care for her.

I have a sister and a brother. I get along with both of them, but unfortunately live too far away to see them. I’m in PA, my sister is in Florida, and my brother is in South Korea. Sure wish I could afford to see them one more time.
Comment
I have 4 sister’s and 1 brother. We are real close. 3 live out of town but when we all get together it’s like we were never apart and it’s one big party with the 6 of us all their children and their spouses and than all their little ones.There’s like 60 of us plus our parents!!
Comment
The sibling thing is a little complicated. Lol. I’ve raised by my mom and (since 3 yrs)my step dad with my brother and sister. My real father, whom my sister and I have dubbed “sperm donor”, in addition to us, had 9 other kids by various women. One younger than my oldest daughter. I’m friends with a few on Facebook, met two of them and love them dearly. As for my sister, she is my best friend. And I’m so excited that she is about to move less than 15 minutes from me.
Comment
I have one sister and one brother and I am smack in the middle of both of them. So that means when we were younger that I would almost always get the blame lol but despite all of that we still get along pretty well and I love them despite how they even today still try to blame me for things that I didn’t do . Lol hehe ok so maybe I did do some of those things but surely not all of them. Lol
Comment
Aww thank you again for sharing!
I have a sister who is 6 years older and a brother who is 4 years older. I’m really close with my brother even if he doesn’t discuss his personal life. My kids love their uncle Tom. My sister and I had always went back and forth with either getting along or fighting like crazy. As we got older things got better but we still have our moments. ♡♡
Comment
I have two younger brothers that I don’t get along with at all. Fortunately, I don’t live near either of them and haven’t seen them in about 20 years.
Comment
As kids my sister and I were not very close… she resented me because my parents were always at work and I was left to watch her .. we did not speak for almost 8 years and I missed the birth of both her children.. but one day my mom had a terrible fall, we didnt know If she would be ok and my sister and I started speaking and slowly we started building a relationship. .. now 13 years later we are inseparable. .. we live together and her and I have been raising her 2 boys who are now young men… I really dont know what I would do without her, she keeps me in check so I dont get down on myself and she is the person who always has my back. ..
Comment
I have 2 sisters. We haven’t always been close. But since we don’t live together any more we have gotten much closer. We’ve started taking trips together and talking more.
Comment
I have a brother and a sister. When we were younger we were not close but now we have gotten closer. They are 8 years younger.
Comment
I recently discovered that I have 7 more sisters and 2 more brothers, so I have a total of 13 siblings! The ones I grew up with are my core unit, but upon meeting my other set I find 3 of them who act like me!
It’s been hilarious learning how to deal with older versions of me ?! Now I have to come up with tactics against myself!
Comment
I’m an only child. I have a brother by choice that I grew up with my whole life. We went through the first 14 years of our lives together before I moved. Everyone who knows us knows we’re family so at least I have that.
Comment
My brother and I were adopted when I was 7 and he was almost 5 (he is my biological brother) He lives in the Keys. I live in MD. When my mom was alive and my brother and his family lived near Pittsburgh, we always got together at Thanksgiving. My SIL’s parents would join us and we all brought a dish. It was fun and a bit chaotic. I miss seeing them all but his kids are now married with families of their own and he is divorced. I learned, several years ago, that our birth mother had another daughter she gave up for adoption. My brother knows her name and information and went to see her before telling me about her. She does not want to meet me because she is happy with her life as it is..and little bro can be tactless and pushy when things don’t go according to his plan. It makes me sad. I feel like I’m missing something. And I just wish I’d had the chance to meet her.
Comment
I’m the eldest of six girls so I’m right there with you Milly. They’re the first to know what goes on and the first to be by my side. So I’m thankful everyday for my posse!
Comment
I have a younger brother and an older sister. My brother and I get along fine but my sister has always been my best friend. I don’t know what I would do without her.
Comment
I have 8 brothers and 3 sisters. I am the oldest of all of us. We get along well but we live so far away from each other. We try to get together for major holidays but this time I’m not able to travel. Have a Happy Thanksgiving with your sister.
Comment

Comment

Love my family!!!
Comment
I have no siblings. But I have 4 cousins, we all lived in the same block growing up and were always together. We fought like siblings, stand up for each other and still there for one another if we need it.
Comment
Have one brother and get along better now that we are adults than when we were kids as kids because I was the oldest I was responsible for him because both parents work and I was responsible for getting dinner ready so we didn’t get along now that we are adults and are on an even footing things are much better and we are closer than ever
Comment
I have both a sister and a brother who I love to bits. My sister and I get along on for about an hour after that we end up fighting over something meaningless lol, my brother and I although he’s 8th younger than me we get along well when I see him.
Comment
I have 2 sisters, and out of the both of them Dawno and I are the closest even tho we are very close to our older sister Angie..Dawno and I are twins.
Comment
I am the middle child of 5. I am the only girl with 4 brothers. I love and get along with all of them. We are all spread out now but when we do get together, someone always gets into trouble! :D Good times!
Comment
I have 5 siblings, 3 sisters and 2 brothers. With six of us you would think we don’t get along but you would be wrong. We get together for most holidays, picnic, when my hubby and I camp we invite them over to enjoy the campground with us.
Comment
I have 2 sister and unfortunately we don’t get along. our parents went through a messy divorce that put a strain on our relationship with each other.
Comment
My sister Vanessa, we have each other and we are all we need. We have our families but she is my everything! !
Comment
I am the oldest of 3! I get along great with my youngest sister and we see each other often and on family get togethers. My middle sister lives in a different state now and she had a falling out with the family so we don’t talk as often. I try to keep communication open with her but she is dealing with her own issues.
Comment
I am the youngest of 10. All half siblings, so I don’t share both parents with any of them. 3 brothers, and 6 sisters. I am also an A.I. child, but my biological father sees me as his own, and I think of him as my father, not the man that is listed on my birth certificate.
As for how my siblings and I get along. There is a 17-18 year gap between me and the oldest. I get along with all my siblings pretty well. But 2 of my sisters I get along with the best. One of them is 16 years older than me, and she was like a mom to me growing up. The other sister is 7 years older than me. Both have moved across the country, so seeing them is so much harder.
Comment
I have 1 brother who lives 15mins away I love him very much but we are not close what really bothers me is that I don’t know why I’ve try to be a good big sister but I guess it wasn’t enough my brother is an amazing dad to his 3 boys and he’s an amazing husband and I’m very proud to call him family
Comment
I have 3 sisters and 1 brother 2 older 2 younger I’m the middle I guess lol. But sadly we don’t get along they do there thing while I do mine. Almost all of them are on drugs that’s why I stay away from them. Sad but true. My mom is gone and my dad wasn’t much of one lol. But I have my husband and my children and where happy. For that I give thanks.
Comment
I love that you and your sister are so close. I sadly don’t have that same relationship with mine and envy those that do. Happy Thanksgiving to you both!
Comment
I have 8 siblings. 4 brothers and 4 sisters. Ranging from 38-12 in age. We are a crazy mix of half, step, adopted and full relation and Honestly we get along great! I am truly thankful that my siblings and I are close and love each other unconditionally. Not many have the bond that I have with so many different types of siblings and I can thank my parents for fostering those bonds. For example, my father’s son and my mother’s son,from different marriages, are close and spend holidays together even though they are not technically related in any way. We are allowed to love each other with no animosity or favoritism. That’s what family is all about!
Comment
I have a sister but I grew up with four of my cousins that I consider my brother and sisters. We all lived in same house..
The ocean separates us but we talk everyday on the phone social media
I am so blessed to have them in my life..
Comment
Are you ready ?? I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters !! And yes we are close ( but of course we argue sometimes hotly! ) but live far from each other but that is what the phone , Skype and Facetime is for !!
Comment
I am the oldest of four. I love all my siblings. I have two brothers and one sister. Boys are sandwiched in the middle. One of the boys is a USMC and the other is a high school drop out. My sister just graduated from high school and is going to be a vet tech. Right now they are all in NC with my mom and I’m stuck in our home state of WI. I love and will miss them all for the holidays and my birthday.
Comment
I have two sisters and we get along fantastic. We spend a lot of time together and talk daily.
Comment
Hi Ya Milly, I am the sixth of seven girls and two boys. And all though we are all scatter about we still keep in touch with each other. Love my siblings.
Comment
I have 3 brothers. Two live in Florida and the youngest and baby of the family lives a couple miles from me. My two older bros are 10 and 9 yrs older than us so we were almost raised in different generations. But when we lived there we were pretty close. Then our parents divorced and my younger brother and I with my mom moved up here to Ohio. It was tougher for me being female and emotional or whatever but it’s been difficult being separated from all my brothers hard to get used to not having them close with me. But fortunately I do have one brother with me and we are very very close and we even become closer since my mom died this summer in June and we look out for each other. So even though we my younger brother and I fought like typical siblings when we were little, I don’t know what I would do without him.
Comment
Do I have siblings? Oh yeah 6 Brothers and 1 Sister. My sister and I really close. 2 really close brothers and 3 are close and 1 is the one that gets along with no one
Comment
I have an older (by 6 1/2 years) brother. We are close and sometimes will text for hours, just chatting. As a kid, he let me hang out with him and his friends.
I also have an older (by 9 years) sister. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we were separated for most of our lives. We are building our relationship and getting closer every day.
I am so thankful for both of them.
Comment
Only child here but I made up for it by having 4 huge sons lol and they get along great!
Comment
I have 3 brothers and 3 sisters, all older than me. I have a pretty good relationship with all of them although I’m definitely closer to a few due to age and distance geographically.
Comment
I have two brothers, one older and on 20 years younger. I love them both a great deal although I want to strangle my older brother sometimes, the feeling is mutual though. I know no matter what he’ll be there to help if I need it just like I’m here for him. I haven’t met my younger brother yet but I get to finally meet him in December. The times I have talked to him on the phone are wonderful. I wouldn’t trade either one for anything in the world.
Comment
I don’t have any siblings, there is just little old me ? Lol xxxx
Comment
I have one sister like you. I love her talk to her all the time. She is only 60 miles away but we do not get down there as much as I would like. But I do have 3 great children and 3 grandchildren. Two are 19 and our blessing is 3 years old. So I am thankful for my family. Also have 2 great nieces and 3 great-nieces. Family is what matters and I love them all.
Comment
I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. My family were migrant workers. We used to only have each other as playmates wherever we went, so, we had to learn how to get along. We’d fight like cats and dogs, but, we had (and still do) each other’s backs. We are a close-knit family to this day.
Comment
I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. Very close and we get together for the holidays. I lost one sister to cancer so hold tight to the ones you still have.
Comment
I am the baby of six kids. The three oldest are my sisters each other about 1 1/2 to 2 years younger then eachother. There is around 17 years between me an the oldest, these three have been more of 2nd, 3rd , an 4th moms to me then just sisters. Each has cared for me as a baby, from diapers to bottles. Each has picked me up an dusted me off while I learned to walk, run, ride bikes an rollerskate. They have given me neices an nephews that are more like sisters an brothers. Through my rebel teen years they either helped me cope, helped me get into to trouble or helped me get out of it again. At 33 these three has been other moms from the start, they still help out at my house, hang with my kids an share in all of my ups an downs. We grew up on a farm an life was tough, dangerous an not always adult supervised. With out them I probably would have atleast brokennsome bones along the way, but they kept me safe. I love them so much an couldn’t imagine my life without them. I love my brothers too, they were maybe more onery an sometimes full of boyish pranks but they still loved me.
Comment
I have 3 sisters. I have a sister who has spina bifida since birth with no life expectancy so we make every year as best as it can be. My youngest sister is 20 years younger than me and crazy thing is she is the one that I totally have the most in common with. I love all my sisters they are the world to me
Comment
i have 6 younger siblings and sadly only speak to one. We have all went different directions in life and are not close at all any more
Comment
I have one older brother i love him even if he makes me crazy most of the being immature and not really helpful. Deep down i know he likes me too he just can’t show it
Comment
I have a big brother and he’s very protective of me.. we never fought he always looks out for me and yes he does interrogate every guy I date and give them the drill lolz but I’m so fortunate to have him looking out for me and taking care of me
Comment

Comment
I have 3 brothers and 2 sister. The older 4 are my half siblings and are 15 plus years older then me. I get along better with their kIds who are closer to my age. My little brother and I no longer speak.
Comment
I have one older sister and I don’t know what I would do without her! Since our Mom passed away she has been my rock!
Comment
I have two siblings. My brother is my go to guy for sports. He thinks I am funny with love of the Saints. We spend time together over sporting events. Now my sister and I are as different as night and day. But we love to laugh and dance together.
Comment
get along with brother
Comment
I have two sisters, but only see one regularly, as she lives interstate and is pretty self-absorbed (middle child. LOL).
Anyway my younger sister and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember, even though there is 6 1/2 years between us.
Having come from a broken home, then losing our Mum when my sisters were only 16 & 17 and I was 8 months pregnant with my 4th child at 23, we learnt to be pretty self sufficient. But as we grew older and started they having families, it drove home the importance of not losing touch and the need for family support that we hadn’t really ever known growing up.
We occasionally don’t see eye to eye, but no matter what happens, we are always each others rock and shoulder to cry on when the chips are down.
Comment
I have two sisters and two brothers, Only one actually blood related. He and I don’t speak. His wife (soon to be ex) liked it that way.
My sisters are my best friends in the world. They both live in IL but we talk as much as possible. My one is crazy! She’s the youngest but the wildest! To the point she has John Cusack’s autograph tattooed on forearm. But she’s also the one that would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. My other sister is the one that has to walk the hardest road in life. She chose every mountain to climb and fell hard each time. Her first husband left her , her second passed and now we’ll find out on the 3rd if we’ll loose her. Mountains…Tough and rough.
My other brother he thinks he’s god’s gift to women….that is if you like twigs who still think mullets are AWESOME and working as a janitor is super…LOL
I have the best siblings…they look out for me and are there when I need them, and most of all when I had no one who cared they did…and that’s what siblings are for :)
Comment
I have one brother and he’s like my best friend I don’t know what I’d do without him lol
Comment
I have one sister, who is 12 years younger than me! She was a twin but sadly our sister died at birth. Being so much older she tends to treat me like another mum but as we get older the age difference is a bit less noticeable!!!
Comment
I have 1 brother and two sisters, I lost one brother to brain cancer. We all get along and go out to eat every other month.
Comment
i grew up with two non-blood brothers, our earlier years together we weren’t very close and usually at war with each other but once i moved out we got along alot better and have a great relationship now.
Comment
I am the oldest of 3. I have a sister and brother. We were pretty typical kids – not getting along most of the time lol. But, now as adults we are great friends.
Comment
I have a sister and brother! I’m not that close to my Sister, my mom re-married and my sister is definitely from my Step-dads side of the family! Me and my brother are much closer! 2 peas in a VERY BAD pod!! Lol
Comment
i have two AMAZING sisters. I love those two women with all that i am and would be lost without them. and i have a couple best friends that the universe didnt see fit to make us related but i absoluteley know we belong as sisters.
Comment
I have 4 brothers 2 sisters, I love them all very much, but I am very close with the 2nd oldest Rodolfo, he and I can talk for hours and we’re the “crazy ones of the family cuz we like tattoos and do crazy things, even though we live really far apart we feel really close.
Comment
I have 5 sisters and 2 brothers. I am close to my sister Valerie I help her because she does not get along with our mom. I would give her the world.
Comment
I have 3 half sisters, 2 step sisters, and 1 brother. My sister Ashleigh is probably my best friend. No matter our problems, arguments, or even views we still are by each others sides. Even though she’s younger than me, she was the one there to go beat up the boys who broke my heart. Even though I don’t get to see her everyday anymore I know that I can still count on her if I need her. My brother is the same way. He’s my little protector. We pick on each other, we fight, but at the end of the day if he needs me he knows I’m only a call away, and if need be I’d drive the 14 hours to Colorado to see him.
Comment
I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. My sister is the best and never gets mad. She battles health problems every day but she fights thru it. Although I believe many people take advantage of her, she never says no. I have given my oldest brother living rights to my property so he is my neighbor too lol. He is hard headed but he will do anything to help. My other brother lives further away. He is the funniest. If something is going to happen to someone, it’s gonna be him and your guaranteed to laugh about it, like how he left his window down one night with a McDonald’s bag in floorboard. Little did he know that when he got in truck to go to work, an opossum would attack his leg from under the seat,Lol. My parents have passed away and yes it has caused some strain but we are always there for each other. Thanks for asking, it was nice to remember what I am thankful for.
Comment
No siblings!! But I lived reading your post!! Your so lucky!!
Comment
Youngest of four. Five years older is brother 30 mins away; we see each other dozens of times each year. Ten years older is sister 3 hrs away; we see each other once a year and talk maybe twice a year. Fifteen years older is sister 2500 miles away; we see each other every year, talk on the phone maybe three times a year, and email constantly with each other. Yeah, everyone in my family gets along (but one sis prefers her privacy more).
Comment
I have one sister and we get along now, and for the last 12-15 years or so. Once we were both adults, but we fought like cats and dogs growing up!
Comment
I have 3 older brothers. Its sad because up until a few years ago I was really close with the eldest 2. But do to some other family stuff that I got thrown into the middle of I don’t ever really talk to them. The youngest of the 3 and me tolerate each other I guess. LOL We both still live with my parents and he tends to like to piss me off. So no I cant say that I’m close and it makes me sad but I’ve created my own family and my “friends” are more like siblings to me.
Comment
Welll, I grew up by myself. I was my mother’s only child and I didn’t always get to see my siblings. When I turned 16 and could drive I would go and pick up my brother and 2 little sister every chance I got! They were my lifeline when things in my life were topsy turvey and I will forever be thankful for them. I’m much older than they are and I have watched them blossom into pretty great adults.
Comment
I have an older sister that is my ROCK! Without her, my life would be in shambles, at times. I also have an older brother. He is protective of his family and friends. At lastly, I have a younger, half-sister. We are very close, we were always together, when i lived in NC. Now living in LA, I do not get to spend enough time with my siblings. However, our bonds are sturdy and we always come together for each other.
Comment
I’m the oldest at 34, my brother Ant is 32, and my youngest brother Ry is 4. My parents fostored Ry for 3 years and when he came up for adoption we as a family couldn’t let him go. I was unable to have children and then this year I had to have an emergency hysterectomy so Ry fills that hole. I’m very close to both brothers, with my parents living next door and my older brother only 15 miles away I get to see them a lot.
Comment
I am the oldest of 4. I have a sister and 2 half-brothers (not that we actually use that term but it helps in understanding why the 2 boys are the same age lol)
My sister and I raised our youngest brother. He passed away 20 years ago and we still find ways daily to celebrate his life. Our oldest, younger brother, we are still getting to know. We laugh all the time as people find it hard to believe we didn’t grow up together. What can I say? Family is family and we all rely on each other
Comment
Congrats Michelle! You won this giveaway! I’ve emailed you to the email linked to this comment :D
Comment
I have 1 older sister and brother and 1 twin sister. We get along most of the time.
Comment
I have 2 full brothers, 3 stepsisters and a half-brother (do not know if I write it correctly in english) :-D
We are not very close but with all holidays etc we all see each other at my dads house. You can imagine that it is very crowded on those days:-D
Comment
I have 2 older sisters and 2 older brothers. I am the adopted baby of the family. We all live in different areas of Florida, and get along fine. I am closest to my older sister and youngest brother.
Comment
I have one brother and one sister. I’ve been close to my brother for a while but he moved to North Carolina which is approx. 18 hours away so it’s been hard. We try to communicate as much as possible to ensure we stay close. My sister and I haven’t always been close. She’s 9 1/2 years younger than me so I was an adult for most of her life. For the last 3 years or so though we have tried to get together as much as possible and stay in touch all the time. Without them life wouldn’t be as wonderful as it is, especially since then Imwouldnt have anyone to complain to when my mom makes me crazy. Haha. Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for the giveaway!
Comment
I have 3 siblings, 2 brothers and a sister. And I’m sad to say that we are not really close.
Comment
I have an older sister and a younger sister. I also have 2 younger brothers. We all live in different areas of South Florida except for my older sister she lives in Cayman and we all get along. I miss them from time to time since i don’t have a car and cant visit them often.
Comment
Sadly, my brother and sister aren’t close. I was the “emotional” one in the family and considered a black sheep of the family. Thankfully, my inlaws are super, and love me unconditionally:)
Comment
I have one full sister and brother as well as 13 half sibs. My dad like to share the love. Well his sperm anyway. I’m not sure he is actually able to love. I’m equally close to my brother and sister. The halves not so much. I/we tried her and there but none really wanted anything to do with us. Oh well their loss.
Comment
I have 1 sister… We mostly get along well, but we’re still fighting sometimes :D
Comment
I have one younger sister, a younger brother and 2 half brothers. We get along fine, of course we do have or disagreements on stuff which can get a bit out of hand sometimes. But at the end of the day we are family so we don’t hold on to any anger towards each other!
Comment
I have two sisters and we get along okay. Me and my younger sister both have babies so we’re able to connect over that.
Comment
I have a sister. We used to be extremely close but she changed after being divorced for more years than she thought she would be. She pulled away. I miss her all the time- especially during holidays.
Comment
My sister and I are very close. When I am down and feeling bad she is always there to cheer me up and help me solve any problems I may have. Whenever I had to have surgery she dropped everything and came to be by my side. My sister is irreplaceable she is truly one of a kind. She’s smart and kind. We support each other in our life. We even each have 2 children all boys and 1 1/2 years apart. They also grew up to be the best of friends. I like to believe we were good roll models. She is the best ever.
Comment
I had 2 older brothers. I was the youngest and only girl. We were very close even when we married and had families. Cancer has taken them both and I miss them so much.
Comment
I’m the oldest of 7. I have 5 sisters and 1 brother.
Now that we are all adults, we tend to get along pretty well, but I am not especially close to any one of them. We all lead very different lives, but always manage to get together for Thanksgiving every year. It’s the only only holiday that we manage to do this for, which is amazing considering my parents are now great grandparents with 17 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren, and 3 more great grandchildren on the way!
With husbands, wives & significant others we have over 30 family members!
Comment
one, my older brother who I have always looked up to and adored. He’s back home with me after living in another state for 18 years. I love him dearly.
Comment
I have one brother. He passed away more than 30 yrs ago and he’ll always be loved and missed. I just wish I had more more day to tell him I love him.
Comment
I have two brothers and two sisters I am the baby of the family but there are big age gaps inbetween my two oldest siblings and myself they are old enough to be my parents I guess since that is the case I grew up knowing that I had to respect and listen to them. The person who is to thank for us getting along has to definitely be our mother and all the time she has spent talking to us about her youth and giving us the best advice she haf because of her we are a very united family.
Comment
I’ve got 1 sister who I love greatly but sometimes I don’t like what she says and does but I’m there for her and she’s there for me every time all the time which I think is what sisters are supposed to be
2 brothers both younger one is 2 days short of 2 years younger and I talk to him most I love that he will just text me out of the blue to say I love you have a great day and the other is 13 years younger but he has always held my heart since the day he was born but I hardly ever speak to him but he always calls when he needs advise
Comment
I have a younger (4 years) brother. He is a pain in my ass, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love him and miss him dearly. We will about 16 hours apart, so getting together doesn’t happen much. We are thankful for technology though to keep us close.
Comment
I have one brother and one sister. My sister and I live really close to each other and do a lot together. I am so thankful that she lives close to us so that my son has her in his life. They are super close to each other. I don’t live close to my brother bur we have a close relationship. Love it when I get to visit him and his girlfriend. I have a fabulous relationship with both my siblings and love them very much

I have 3 siblings. My older half brother who was adopted and raised by my great aunt and uncle. I do not get along wits him. He is very judgemental and hateful. I don’t really understand why, because he had it so much better emotionally and financially growing up, but it is what it is. I have 2 younger siblings that I helped my father raise. My mother left us when I was 12, brother was 10, and baby sister was 3. My little brother and I get along fairly well, but he isn’t much of a talker lol. He is a introvert, but I love him. My baby sister is like my little girl. We have a special bond and get along very well.

I have one sister and when we were growing up we were not close at all!!! Now as adults we have put all that behind us and have become great supporters of each other, I wish we had done it so much sooner!

I have two siblings. My older brother is 7 years older. He lives about 3 hours away from me. We are not close. He is very stoic and hard to relate to.
My sister is 19 months older. We are extremely close. We live about 2 hours apart. We talk on the phone at least once a week and get together every couple of months.
We help each other as needed. We are now in the process of sharing the care for our 91 year old mother.

I wish my Brother was not in Kansas and closer to Maryland I know he is happy living the farm life but I miss him very much.
There are 7 years difference but now that we are both in our 50’s the age does not matter.
I am thankful that I have such an amazing and brave brother.

I have 4 sisters and 1 brother. The only good relationship exists with my 2 of my sisters and my brother. One of my sisters is a bit snobbish and have severed ties to the family. The other is that she and I agree to disagree.

I have a younger sister and younger adopted brother. We get along great even if I don’t always understand my sister :) Very protective of my brother as it was very obvious he was adopted and he got teased a lot at school.
Comment
I have 2 stepsister’s and I would fight to the death for both of them. I love them like my own. I am closer to the one that lives in the same state as me but I love them both the same.

I am one of four kids, I have two older sisters and one younger brother. I have to say that this last year has been tough, we lost both mom and dad in 2014 only a month apart and it has broke the closeness that my family has always had. However my brother and my younger son has really been here for me. I don’t know where I would be without them! I wouldn’t have a roof over my head if not for my brother. Even with all that’s been bad this last year, I am so thankful for my brother and my younger son! I am also so thankful for all of my sisters on FB that I share the love of reading!

I’ve got a brother that I am close to.He lives a mile away and his boys are the lights of my life! I’ve got a sister but she isn’t part of our family any more. Long story–short version:she got mixed up in bad things and chose that lifestyle over her family.

Brother and his wife and one of late husband’s sisters live in same house as me; I am rarely in touch with 3 of the steps and not stall with the ex step; in touch with 2 of late husband’s other sisters and with the daughter of the remaining living one… I know, ‘My life is a soap opera’… Lol

I am the oldest of 5. 2 brothers and 2 sisters. We have been very close while growing up and even though we live far apart, California, Texas and Puerto Rico with the exception of my youngest brother who passed away at 39 years old we are still very close and try to spend Hollidays together
Comment
I have 2 sisters and 1 brother and unfortunately we do not see nor talk to each other very often. So, I would say we are distant….

Comment
I have one sister, who lives about 6 hours away… we try to talk at least every other day. I miss her like crazy sometimes!
Comment
There are 8 of us- the original yours, mine & ours.. And theirs!! My mother brought 4 to her 2nd marriage, and he brought 2 of his and his step daughter. Then they had one….. We all felt equal to each other – which had to take an amazing effort on our parents! Though they long ago divorced & married others….. -we kids still keep in close contact & visit each other often & have never given credence to the ‘step or half’ – we’re just brothers & sisters!!
Comment
I have 2 brothers, my oldest brother is Rodney whom is mentally handicap and Adam is my younger brother. We lost our mom in 99, so I became the mom figure… Rodney is my sweetheart, he always has a hug and some compliment to give me. He makes me smile when I want to cry. Adam is my memories, he was killed in 2011 by a drunk driver, so I hold him in my broken heart. He can still make me laugh when I think of his laughter and morbid jokes. We love hard, and even though we are not together we are still connected.
Comment
I’ve got 2 half brothers that I didn’t meet until I was 10 years old. They both work all the time & we didn’t grow up together so we’re not as close as I’d like us to be.
Comment
I have 5 siblings, I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I am the oldest of 6 and take the responsibility very seriously, on some days that is. Lol! But the way we make it work is with lots of laughter and forgiveness. We are always there for each other no matter if we haven’t talked in a while or not, it only takes a call or text and we come together for each other.
Comment
I have 1 brother who is older than me and a cousin who lived with us since he was a kid. We got along fine but if the mood srikes them, they would make fun of me and sometimes made me cry. But if I ask something from them, they would do everything they could to give it to me. They have always been picking me up form school, even now that I am already working. They maybe mean to me, but they love me and protective of me. ?

I unfortunately I’m an only child. I would have loved to have a sister. But my 3 kids love to do stuff together. My younger 2 are Irish Twins and although they are opposite sex they are inseparable. I’m not sure how they will do when the middle one leaves for California.
Comment
I have 7 sisters and 4 brothers. We get along pretty well. But it’s alot of fun and laughter. I think we get along better as adults then we ever did as children. it is always pandemonium around the house.

I have an older sister, a twin sister, and 2 younger half brothers. Although we aren’t as close as we used to be, we still get along quite well.

I have two younger sisters. My youngest sister and I are really close. She is in Oklahoma right now for her job and I miss seeing her!
Comment
I have a brother and a sister. We aren’t as close as I’d like, but I’m working on that.
Comment
I am the oldest of four with one sister and two brothers. I was really close to the youngest when he was a baby and toddler but not for the past few years, and au have never been close with my sister because of our personalities. The sibling closest in age, a brother is not even two years younger than I am and we have always gotten along. We will probably get along for the rest of our lives.
Comment
Me and my sister’s are not close but My best friend who I feel is more of a sister to me is the best person I have ever known.
Comment
I have 5 siblings. 4 sisters and a brother. When we were younger we used to fight like cats and dogs but now we all get along perfectly. We rarely fight and we hang out when ever possible.
Comment
Milly, your words about your sis are so sweet! I’m an only child myself, so the closest thing I’ve had to siblings are my best friends over the years. I am so thankful that I’ve been given these beautiful, kind, loving individuals who have taken me into their lives and hearts, and given me a family when there were times I didn’t have one of my own. I’ve met most of their parents, and have been welcomed in as if I am one of their kids!!

I have two younger brothers and we get along great.

I had an older sister and even though I lost her nearly 18 yrs ago I miss her and thank God everyday that I got the time I got to be with her. We fought like sisters always do but when it mattered she was the greatest friend and sister I could’ve ever asked for. I miss her and think about her everyday all day but knowing I’ll see her again makes her loss a little easier.

I am the youngest of 3 kids. My sister was 20 when I was born and already married. My brother was 12 and by the time I was 4 he was moved out and living with his now wife. So I pretty much grew up in the house with just my parents. But my sister. She was awesome. She lived in the main city and was a model and going to school for nursing. I spent my summers with her and she supported me at all my school events and defended me when she found out I got teased in school. My brother started a family while I was still young but I gained another sister and grew up with my nieces. Sadly, my sister passed away April 21 2008, 5 months prior to my mom’s passing. It wasn’t until after she died I realized my tuff fun loving sister suffered alot herself but kept it hidden to protect me. I use to ask myself why God chose her, but after my mom passing and learning the secrets my sister hidden I know now it was to save my sister that pain of losing my mom. She suffered so much prior that I have to believe she has been set free from her pain. My brother and sista (my sister in law) are around and I’m thankful to still have them. I took my family for granted prior to all this and now I cherish every moment I can. I know my sister and mom are watching out for us now. Thanks for the chance and many blessings to you and your entire family

I have two brothers and a sister. I basically have no relationship with my brothers because they don’t respond to overtures. They are both cordial if I see them at my father’s home though. My sister and I are best friends in part because we live close as well as having similar interests.
Comment
I´ve got one younger brother, and even if we don´t talk every day he´s still someone I trust and love.
I know he´ll be there if I need him.
Thanks for the giveaway & Happy Saturday!

I have an older sister and a younger brother. My sister and I are 22 months apart in age and my brother and I are only 15 months apart in age. We moved around a lot when we were younger and because we were so close in age we never really needed other playmates because we had each other. When I was about 9 years old my mom started to raise 2 of my cousins and by the time I was 12 we added another cousin to the mix. I grew up with 5 siblings that I’m grateful for everyday because we always have each other’s back whenever we’re needed. No matter if we live close to each other or if they live several states away whenever we get together we always have a blast and fool around like we used to when we were younger which makes me happy.
Comment
I have my brother and we have a good relationship as long as we don’t live in the same house together. If we live together we fight to the extent of we can’t even stand the sight of each other. We are now in two different states and get along great. lol. But I wouldn’t want anyone else for my brother.
