Anyone here from a large family?
I have nine siblings. Just found out this morning that the number is now eight.

I lost my sister, Sharon yesterday morning.

I keep thinking about the happier times, when we were growing up and all was right in the world. Sharon was always the ring leader whenever we were out to make mischief. It was all about laughter and enjoying life.

I so very much miss those days. We were such a silly bunch of kids.

10. I'm so sorry CatWoman
I'm the youngest of six and we lost our oldest sister this past summer. It's a strange thing to lose a sibling - not something I'd contemplated having to deal with yet.

:hug:

I'm the oldest of six and that is something I fear experiencing one day. It will be so difficult to deal with.

I wish you healing and peace. :hug:

22. Yep...
I have 5 brothers and 4 sisters, and it's amazing how well all of us get along together.

Your loss has me thinking about how I'd feel if I lost one of mine, so, from a perfect stranger, I'm sorry to hear your news. Hug the rest of them real tight.
