Are you an only child or do you have brothers and sisters?

I have one little brother, and three step, big brothers. Smile

I have a sister.

I have three brothers and had two sisters, however one has passed.

One older brother, one younger. The younger, Bob, died when he was seven and I was fourteen. The older, Bill, lost his battle with cancer just before this past Christmas. This is something a few friends here knew. I didn't post about it, because I didn't want Carol to know, and maybe lose a bit of her hope.

My dad died from leukemia in 1982, my mom, mostly because she was tired of living, I think, in 1995.

I am the only one left, but I have three super children and a granddaughter, so all is good.

I had four brothers and one sister.

Brother died in 1986 .......age 31

Brother died in 2005.........age 50

Step-brother died in 2006...Age 45

Have one brother I don't talk to, he tried to take advantage of
my mother when she was ill and get her to mortgage her house so
he could buy more trucks for his company, he stopped talking to her
before she passed away, have no use for him...

Cheers..Joe

Joe,

I had a hunch you were writing about self and brothers.

Ann,

Losing your brother to the killer of cancer is sad.

Abe,

Six in your family! What a fun zoo.

Zizban,

One sister, older?

Alastair,

Only girl!

I had two brothers, both older. One was half and is no longer living. I think kids in large families have more
fun.

Four brothers, two older, two younger. The age span for u five boys is less than seven years. The two older ones died in their fifties in 1993, both from complications of diabetes. That was a rough year. My two younger brothers and I live far apart, but we get together about once a year for what the youngest has named, "the annual old farts' reunion." Three very different guys.

Joe,

Your family died very young. I am so sorry.

Al,

Does diabetes run in your family? It sounds like boys do for sure.

Shelagh,

Thank you. I fixed it.

AJ, I've been meaning to tell you, we have a connection- like that six degree of separation thing. AJ is my user name on another forum, and 22 (or any series of 2's, is my lucky number.

Thank You !

Cheers..Joe

There are five girls in my family. I'm the middle daughter, and we're all about four to six years apart. My oldest sister was 18 when my youngest sister was born.

Helen,

No wonder your mother is strong. Wow!

Thank you for pointing that out Shelagh.
Alice, dont worry, haha.
And thats interesting Ann, my birthday is 22 so that is why I use it. Cool.

Very Happy

Yes, Alice, she sure is! She and my dad raised very strong and independent women. We lost my dad in 2001 from cancer. He had three of us very involved in playing sports and was a good businessman. We were very blessed!

Helen, Which sport?

Are you tall?

I played basketball and softball. I'm 5 feet 8 inches tall.

Yes. I have it. My youngest brother has recently developed it, too. So that's four out of five. Two of my grandsons have it. It definitely runs in the family.

Good, I am 5 feet 10 inches tall.

Al,

I am so sorry. I have it too following pancreatic surgery. It is no fun. I love sweets too.
