One year, eight months, 16 days
I've been a widow now for one year, eight months, and sixteen days. Twenty months and two weeks, if you call it by the way...
And the Question of the Week is… if you had siblings, did you get along with them?
i have two brothers, one older one younger; they are as different as night and day; and yeak, i get along with them both. i just discussed this with Uncle Sam; he and my Mom were the two men out in their family of 6; they must have been a rousing pair of rebels !
I have two much older half sisters. While growing up I never really liked the eldest, although I’ve softened my position over the years. I adored the younger one, but still rarely keep in touch with either.
I have two unsiblings, whom I hung out with a lot and like when I was little, but haven’t seen much since. They’re unsiblings because they are my half-sisters’ siblings by their stepfather. My father’s first wife and her husband would babysit me on occasion, which is how I got to hang out with my unsiblings.
Why is everyone asking me this lately?
Damn you, Jung! Synchronize this, you bastard!
Oh, indubitably. You get stuck with your younger brother for 6-10 hrs a day in a station wagon when you’re 5-8 yrs old, and you figure out how to get along – or else. (Month-long road trips around the country – way fun, except when you’re crossing Kansas …) To this day, he remains one of my biggest fans.
I have only one sister and she’s 11 years older than I am. So by the time I was 7, she was moving out. We didn’t really “grow up” together because of the big age difference.
mine is up!
