I long for a sister

I have 2 perfectly nice brother but I feel there is nothing quite like a sister - even my best friend isn't quite the same.

DH has 3 brothers and one of my sisters in law was like a sister but, because of her DH's health issues, things have changed - inevitably!

Poor you bettyboo. I love my sister-I understand what your Mum said, we have always said if our DD2 had been born first she would have been an only one.
You must find Gransnet tough-and you Izzy-without family.
Funnily enough DH has four sisters and only one is decent, the rest are toxic.

bettyboo im sorry you feel so alone. I have sisters but don't get on with all of them which is sad really. I also don't have children and for that reason I feel quite alone as it means there's no family to look after or that many occasions to look forward to the way you would if you had children and grandchildren in your life.
I wonder if you work or have many friends ? It can be hard to fill those hours if you've retired.
Do you have any other family ?
