Adult Children by Stephen Beals for May 16, 2024

I lost both of my brothers this last year

You could tell we were brothers just to look at us, but we were all pretty different by the time 6 decades rolled around

I have more in common with some people I know who are not related to me at all than I do with my siblings. I’d even go so far as to say that the only thing my siblings and I have in common are a few genes.

My sister and I are total opposites. No meeting ground. Nada. Plus being 7 years apart doesn’t help. We are even on opposite sides of the zodiac.

True.

Ain’t that the truth…

..you can pick your friends, but you can’t pick your family..

Bingo.

Just one common ancestor? He’s a half brother?

I’m a bit like my sister, but very different from my parents. I would swear I was adopted.

Sibling “profiling” is just people being lazy.
