Do you have brothers? Are you friendly with them?

I do not have own brothers. I had one elder and two twin younger brothers. But all the three passed away in their childhood itself. From my childhood, whenever I saw somebody having brother, I used to feel depressed that I do not have own brother. When I see a boy of friendly nature, I immediately think I should have had one brother like this. What about you? Do you have brother? Are you friendly with him? Do you also feel like me, if you do not have a brother?

Happy to hear this Makatas, Keep this healthy relationship always and be of support to each other. Your parents will bless you all. After all all the parents want unity among their children is it not?

This is a sad thing. There is a book called I am ok and you are ok. If we are ok and the other person is not ok, then how much we can adjust? There is no other go other than remaining apart.

I have 1 sister and we are very close. We are very different, like ying and yang but that's why I like her. She is very honest with me and when I do something I shouldn't have done she tells me that and I don't get mad with her or I do but she is my sister so we don't even have to make up when we argue. I have always wanted to have an older brother when I was younger because he would introduce me to his cute friends but most of my friends who actually have an older brother fight with him all the time. So now I prefer having my/a sister.

Having an elder brother is superb. You have a security feeling. But sister is awesome. She will shower so much affection on you and we will have that oneness feeling. Even I have four sisters and I am happy about it.

I am very sorry for the loss of your biolocigal brothers during your childhood. Siblings can be wonderful. Yes, I do have a brother. We are 4 years apart in age and he lives in another state for the last 2 years. We are very close. We talk as often as we can by phone. It is very nice to have a brother that I can share with. I would like to encourage you to find a friend that can be close to you like a brother. Additionally, I do not know how spiritual you are but the Word of God says "..there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother." (Proverbs 18:24) Life can be very enriched by a brother and you can fill that void with someone that you look at as a brother.

You read my mind I suppose. I am spiritual, very much indeed. Thanks for the beautiful Word of God. I need a brother with whom I can share my mind and thought freely without hesitation and can get mental support. In the same way I will also be of a good support to him. I will take your advice. Thanks. God bless you with everything in Life.

hi Buchi_bulla! I am so sad to hear your story. Maybe it is really destined that you wouldn't have any brother in your life. Though sad but you have to face it. In my case, I supposed to have two brothers but my mom had a miscarriage. But I am still lucky for I have one brother. He is younger than me for seven years. Despite our age gap, we still do have a good relationship. We act as if we are of the same age. In fact we sometimes hang-out together in bars and malls. Having a brother is so wonderful because you are assured that someone's gonna defend you at times when you need it. Like I do, I feel so secured and safe each time my brother is beside me.

That is what is called sibling. In India and in Tamil language, they say if the self is silent also the blood will shake, in the sense if YOU keep quiet also your BLOOD will react when your sibling or for that matter any blood relation is in trouble. God bless you both.

Sorry to hear that,Having a brother i think is the great gift by my parents,my brother is 5 years younger than me,but now he is much taller,sometimes i have a joke with him that he inherits all excellent gene. when we were young,i looked after him often as parents are busy in work.at that time he totally relyed on me and told me everything.then we grew up,we shared everything each other,someting we even never told our parents.sometimes i heard some good news about him i would call him to say congratulaitons,so did he.

I am very happy you share good relationship with your brother. You may have 101 friends. But still a brother and sister are unique in their own way. No substitute for that relationship. God bless you both my friend. HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

Firstly, I'm very sorry to hear about your brothers. I'm sure they'll always be in your memory. I have 2 younger brothers. I no longer live at home so I don't see them every day but I do love them dearly. They're aged 13 and 10 and although they're brats sometimes we get along fairly well. I think it's normal for brothers and sisters to fight, as long as at the end of the day you have resepct for each other. I think as they get older, the arguing and fighting has slowed down and we hang out more. Especially the older of the two and myself. He's a teenager now and is growing up and I think that because I've already gone through what he's going through he relates to me. I also try to be a good role model because I know they both look up to me.

You are correct. Childhood fights are normal in every house hold and they will be our sweet memories. I am proud of you. You want to be a role model for your brothers. I wish your brothers will shine well in the life and career. I wish them and bless them all success. Thanks my friend.

I have one brother..I'm not super close to him ..neither when I was young, because I was the youngest in the family and he would always bully me and of course mom and dad will get in the way..I think he's so jealous of the attention that I'm getting during our younger years. But I love him a lot..I love his family..I love his kids and he knows that.althoguh he's not the type of person who'll open up on you..I know he loves me too.

Some people will not show their affection out. May be your brother is of that type. God bless both of you.

I do not have brothers, but I have two elder sisiters, one of them is 4 years older, and the other is 2 years older. When we were children, we used to fight, but it did not affect our relation. And now we are all grown up and we love each other so much. We support and help each other, chat, play, and also do something to make our parents feel happy. And they are all married and have their own children. I love their children very much, and I like to give them presents. I love all of them so much and we are a worm familly!

I don't have a brother, I have an older sister. Sometimes I really wished I had a brother, but I know, a brother would never care for me, as my sister does.

You are true. In many cases, I have seen sisters to be more close than brother. But still to have a brother is really great.
