I would just like to say that even at 60yrs old I
still pine for a sibling.
I get a real pang when I hear people say they are going to their
sister's for example.
I dream of being on a programme like "Surprise Surprise"
and the door opening and being told "This is the sister you
never knew you had".
It is stupid as I had a very happy childhood with
loving parents - sometimes a little too protective and pushy. I
always get in with large families and my late husband was one of
9. I hated having the choice of which bedroom I could have, when
all my friends were sharing.
My parents always took a friend for me when we went
on holiday, but I still can't accept it.
I have no confidence and as my parents did everything
I am not good at coping with different situations and the thought
of getting people to do jobs terrifies me, as, since I was widowed
it is all left to me.
People who come from large families seem to automatically
cope with these things.
Although I have 3 children and 7 grandchildren who are really good
to me, but oh for a sibling.
