I went from being the oldest to the middle sibling to the youngest child over the course of my childhood.
Had a younger brother, then we adopted my cousins as teens, a d a few years later, my brother passed.

Sorry for your loss. Congratulations for the gains that preceded the loss?
No blood related siblings. I have a stepbrother who helped program the Mars rovers though.

I feel you bro. My youngest brother passed in August.
The youngest siblings don't even remember much of him. That's one of the saddest parts. It happened 21 years ago.
I have nieces now that are almost as old as they were when it went down. He would've loved them, they're the greatest. π₯²
Yep, over a dozen of 'em. Want one?
- All younger⦠biggest age gap is 15, between me and the youngest (I am 20)
I have two sisters, one 8 years older and one 2 years younger.
A 56 y/o half-brother that I would do almost anything for and a step-sister that.. well.. whatever.
