How many siblings do you have?

It’s my uncle’s 66th birthday and he lives in the province. His siblings (my mom included) planned to surprise him by going there all the way from the city. They brought food, presents and were ready to belt out the Happy birthday song but to their surprise, nobody was at home when they arrived. My uncle was in the farm harvesting his crops. He didn’t have a smartphone with him so they couldn’t call him. Someone had to actually fetch him with a horse and he was crying loads when he saw his siblings. The video captured it all. It was heartwarming to see them gathered altogether. One of their brothers passed away last June and I noticed they’re closer to each other now. How about you? Are you close to your siblings? Photo is of the eggplants my uncle was harvesting.

You could always "adopt" a sibling, like I did...

No, not really. I talk with one of my older brothers and one of my sisters over the phone. I've seen my sister a couple of times in the last few months and talked with my brother today over the phone.

I have a younger sister too and the age difference makes us like different stuff and so we have nothing in common to talk about lolll

I only have one sister with me and that is all. We do have a big family since my mother's side has 11 siblings which is why I got lots of Uncles Aunts and cousins too. But our family is just small since we are only two.

@sol_cee my two brothers 5th and 6th siblings they are not that close to me. Because of age I guess. The second sibling, is in overseas. I am close with my sister and my 3rd sibling.

Is it because of the age difference? I have some eggplants here because my mother brought a lot. Do you want?
