“I never had a brother or a sister but I did not want one.  I would think that if my parents had another child I would lose their attention.  I did not need siblings because in my head I already I had one, my cousin.  We grow up so close that anyone would we think we are sibling and that is how we treated each other.  It seem that the more we grow older the more we grow apart.”
