I was the oldest of 4 children. My sister died at age 16 (20 years ago this year), my brother died at age 17, (also 20 years ago this year), I have one younger brother left but I have not seen him in about 18 years - since he was thrown out by my parents (he was an awful person, said he'd kill me). Apparently he's matured a bit, calls my mom now for birthdays, mothers day, etc. I've had no contact with him, I have no desire to.
