Don't have any sisters, just 5 brothers. There was one brother that didn't treat me the greatest. We are 1 year and a week apart, in the middle of the six kids and today we get along great. He has apologized for mistreating me and we both regret not fixing the problem sooner. I think through example I've been able to teach him a few things and vice versa. When you speak with her, also let her know that your there for her. Hope it goes well.

I don't have any sisters either. Just one brother that is 3 years older. We fought alot growing up. Mom was ashamed to take us places because we were always bickering so much. This lasted through our teenage years. Then Joel went away to college. After a couple weeks I found that I missed him so much that I was looking forward to when he could come home for a visit. We haven't exchanged a cross word since then. (1971)

There were seven of us (6 girl) and we fought like cats and dogs, but since we've been adults we love and respect each other so much. We love being together and never fight. Isn't that weird?

So yes, please call your sister and tell her what's in your heart. You won't be sorry.

Patti that is opposite of me and my sisters. I only remember two small incidents with one of my sisters when I was growing up. The short tempered one. Now we don't even like each other. We love and care about each other and would do anything to help the other, but we do not spend a lot of time together.

Your sister will appreciate what you're about to do, Jannie. My thoughts on my sister? I've always wanted one, now more than ever.

That's a great idea. Everyone should do that, we all need to know we are appreciated. I have no sister just a brother and I try to keep in touch and let him know I care, even thought he hardly ever calls me.

You will never regret being closer to your sister.

I've lost all 4 of my sisters, including my twin, and I miss them desperately.

Jannie, I think that is a very nice thing to do, to call her and say how sorry you are. I bet it warms her heart.

My sis is 12 years younger than I am. I even got to name her....much to her dismay. LOL We are very close/

We had 2 boys then our daughter. The three of them fought all of the time, and the boys teased their sister terribly. I remember one day she came to me complaining about her brothers and I told her I would make her a promise, I promised her that a day will come in the future that she would actually like her brothers. She looked at me like I has 2 heads, but many times, after they all grew up and became close, she remembered my making that promise. I always feel sorry for those who are astrained (sp?) from their siblings.

I had two older sisters (8 & 10 yrs. older) and both have passed away. They always lived quite a distance from me, but the one used to come in the summer with their fifth wheel & stay for a few weeks so we got 're-aquainted' and had loads of fun. She wrote my mother that she was so happy to have the chance to get close again with me and my husband. I have two brothers and I never hesitate to tell them I love them. Life is so uncertain & we sometimes forget the ones we love can be taken away at any time.

Your little sis will appreciate the call, I think. But I bet she idolized you and thought you were so cool. My three years younger sister did, and I never knew it.

It's interesting, we were the "bad kids" in the neighborhood and some of the mothers wouldn't let their kids play with us, lol. We have all grown up to be successful in our careers, with good jobs and great kids. there were 5 of us, 2 boys and three girls.

My sister and I were not close as kids, nor during our 20's or 30's as we kind of went our own ways. Now I talk to her at least once a week on the phone and we are very close, even though we see each other only about once a year.

Are you sure you were actually mean? Kids fight, it's normal. But if you think you were mean, you can say you're sorry for anything you did to hurt her, and how much you love her. It's important to share these feelings, and maybe she feels the same way. I'm glad you have a sister to love.

What a lovely thing to do. I'm sure your sister will be so pleased.

I don't have a sister, just brothers and I wouldn't mind too much trading one for a sister. LOL

I had 4 sisters, all older. The two nearest me in age, one 4 years older and the other 2 years older had already paired off when I came along. They were never mean, as such, but they always told me I was not their sister, that I had been found on the doorstep. I was intimidated by that but as I got older I realized it wasn't true. As adults we were always close. They are gone now.

I also had 4 older brothers, also now gone. I miss each one. We were a close family, but being the youngest, I have had to accept that.

Yes, I think your sister would love to hear from you.

My older sister was 12 years old when I was born and when I was 3, my mother had her last child, a girl, developmentally disabled and as a lot of her time was taken up with her, my sister became my 2nd Mom. She married at 17 and a year later had her first of 5 DDs. Her DD and I were more like sisters and still are. My sister passed away 10 years ago with cancer and I miss her so much. We didn't get to see each other as much as I would have liked as we lived too far from each other the last 20 years before she died. My younger sister is in a residential care facility in Ca. and I haven't seen her in over 35 years. Not sure if she remembers me or not, though I write to her and send pictures.

I also had 3 brothers older than I, 2 living, 1 dead.
