i'm also an elder sister, though i am a single child of my parents but i have two cousin brothers...but somehow our relation isn't that close as it should be...but that's a different matter altogether...what i want to say is i miss that person in my life...that one person (apart from my parents) who would have protected me from all evils, the one to whom i would have gone in all my miseries, the one who would have been my best friend...and more than everything i miss an elder brother...i wish i had one...your os reminded me of that empty place in my life, again! :)
