I forgot bout my 1/2 sister that is the product of my father's affair with his secretary. This will be in my book as she just came out of the woodwork recently. She was unknown to us and I believe my mother as well. We are demanding DNA tests. She looks like us. We need a lawyer.
2 halves on my mother's side whom I loved dearly but likely don't even remember me. 2 more halves (that I know of on her side), one I met briefly. Several half brothers on my father's side (never met)
Many foster siblings throughout the years.
My last foster family is my true family with all of its dysfunction.
2 sisters one I talk to all the time the other we rarely speak but don't really need to...just love her.
2 brothers in prison (one I love the other only out of respect for my mom)
SMITH Magazine brings you an entirely new kind of six-word experience: Six-Word Questions. This is the place to pose a question to the SMITH community from, "What are your favorite Six-Word quotations" to challenging members to pen Six-Word Obituaries to the recently departed to Six-Word jokes and any other Six-Word question you can dream up. You can even request that the responses be in six words. Everyone has a question—what's yours?

One identical twin sister, parents were expecting one boy, ended up with premature girls, pre modern medicine era. That was end of that.jl333 says,
Contemplative--also a twin born prematurely (4.5 weeks early), and that too, was the end of that!TheProsperousArtist says,
Wow, who'd-a thought this was such a controversial topic?One slightly younger brother.
Almost forgot three half-siblings - mom married at 64, so they're still fairly recent.
Ctgoods - sounds like quadruple Brady Bunch!
