i know where your coming from about dead family membersi wish my dad and nan were around. i was A REAL DADDY'S GIRL

Answer 1

Well, I wish I had a sister. Not a 1/2 sister or anything like that but I real sister growing up with.... I probably could have been a better person if I had an older sister; she could have offered a viewpoint and life experience to a younger insecure brother...

Still, a younger sister would have been fun too, especially since girls mature faster than boys, so she would have been as mature as I was even if she would have been younger.

Cheers!

Answer 2

I am an only child and have always wanted a brother or a sister. It has been something that has always left me feeling very empty. While I have lots of cousins, it was just my mum and dad when I was younger and then after they divorced it was only ever just me and mum or me and dad.

Having said that I feel a little petty since so many of the other responses are people wishing they had back loved ones that have died. I am sorry for their loss.

Answer 3

I still miss my Mom. She died 6 years ago from inoperable cancer.

I have all the other types of family you can name. I could have done with a couple less brothers, but that's just my opinion (5 brothers and 1 sister). I have loads of aunts and uncles I only see for funerals. Really sad, but true. And I haven't seen any of my cousins since the last family wedding. So you're really not missing much.

Answer 4

I was an only child until I was 20, when my mom had my sister. Growing up I always wanted a brother or sister...but nope...mom had to wait until I was moved out and married before she could have another one. Go figure. And while it's nice that I have a sister now, our relationship, because of the age difference is more "uncle" or "parental" in nature.

Answer 5

I'm the opposite! I had all brothers, all male cousins. For over 20 years I was the only girl in the family (not counting my mom, aunts, and grandmother). I think it would've been nice to have a sister but having brothers gave me some qualities/skills I probably wouldn't have gotten with a sister around.

I think I just want one or two of my grandparents back. All of them have died and it makes me feel a little lost not having them around.

Answer 6

I have fantastic family and a big sister who I wouldn't swap for all the money in the world. When I was a kid though I would've liked a big brother. I have a big brother-in-law now though and that's just as good.

One family member I wish I could find is my Dad's father. My Dad was born during WW2 and was adopted and we have no idea who his Dad was, so I've missed out on a Granddad.

Answer 7

I like the way mine is,one older brother only..=)..But I wish my Dad was still here (RIP),and he had no one left in his family by the time I was 3 yrs old so maybe some more on his side would of been cool,like Aunts & Uncles,Mom's side I have 6 cousins & their folks but dont know them hardly at all,maybe seen them 3 times in my life ,no biggy though..

Answer 8

You are lucky to have sisters.I have no brothers,sisters,mum,dad,uncles or aunts.My grandparents are dead,I have no cousins.My motto in life-if you don't have a family-make one!!! I have a 12 year old daughter and a 13 year old daughter,plus my partner.They are my family now.If I could wish for a family member it would be for my gran to be alive.She was salt of this earth(if you have ever heard of that expression).Appreciate who you have and have a nice day/evening.

Answer 9

I wish I had a brother.... I have 3 sisters and I'm very lucky to have them but still I wish I had a brother :)

Answer 10

I sometimes wish I had an older sister. I have an older brother,younger sister, and a younger half-brother, so all that's needed is an older sister.
