Wrong! I'm the youngest of six. Actually, if we're going to get technical, I'm the youngest of eight, six of whom lived. (Was my grammar correct? I've had two glasses of champagne and can't be sure).

You Are Likely A Forth Born

At your darkest moments, you feel angry. At work and school, you do best when your analyzing. When you love someone, you tend to be very giving.

The Birth Order Predictor

I just got off the phone with my sister (one and only sister)

who lives in Australia and who is one of the few of my siblings I really feel connected to.
I love talking to her and catching up but, afterward, I'm always left feeling a bit melancholy.

I miss her. I miss my niece and nephew and my lovely BIL, too. When you love someone a lot the miles that part you seem longer.
