Today's question is about family...

How many brothers and sisters do you have? Are you close?

I have 2 brothers. One lives in San Diego. I speak to him periodically on the phone but we are not close. My other brother lived in Oklahoma. He passed April 1, 2009. We were as close as can be with him living so far away. I never had any sisters

I only have one sister and we are not that close.

Hubby has 8 brothers/sisters - one has passed away, some are full b/s, some are 1/2 brothers, and some are step brothers.

I am an only child. I never minded as a child, but it would be nice to have a sister now. Although, my best friend since I was 5 years old and I are still close. She is like my sister.

I have one younger sister. We are starting to get closer as she gets older. She is only 16 and I am 24 so the difference in age sometimes makes it hard for us to be close.

I have 2 younger half brothers. (Same Mom, different father.) One is 23 and the other is 16. The 23 year old and I never got along growing up and then his exfiance and I never got along which made it hard as well but now that she's out of the picture we are getting closer. The 16 year old has Down Syndrome and we are super close. He stays with us a lot as my Mom is a single mom and a fulltime nurse who works nights, so when she works, he stays with us.

I also have half siblings on my father's side, but I've never met them OR him for that matter.

I have an older (1.5 years) half-brother that lives in Texas, i wouldn't say we're close, but we have the same father and we are both just like my Dad so whenever we get together it's like we talk to each other everyday. I would like to cultivate a stronger relationship, but you know how those things go


I also have a younger (6 years) sister we're not what i would call close, in fact, most of the time i don't like her too much
She's a bit mean and a total drama queen
but she is my sister and I love her and would do anything for her

I have one sister and 3 brothers all older than me. One brother passed away. The other brother I never see, we are not close at all. I am very, very close to my sister in all ways including her distance from where I live, about 3 miles.

I am the eldest of three, with both one younger sister and brother. We're all about 18 months apart. Although we weren't very close when we were younger, all three of us have gotten much closer as we've gotten older and more mature. I consider my sister a good friend and we have a great time together when we go out shopping and such. Same with my brother....he's a fantastic guy.
