The bane of being the youngest
Oct 11th, 2007 by Lilian
I was looking through my photos with my siblings and just realized something painful. You see, I was born very late in my parent’s life. The sibling before me was 10 years older than me. My parents never expect me, it was an accidental pregnancy.
So, the first part of being this young is the death of my parents early in my life. And sadly, while I was looking through the photos, I realised that my older siblings are all very old now. They are in their late fifties. So, that means I am going to face many more painful losses assuming that we grow old and go when our time is due.
I am ten years late and that means I will be the last to go. Kind of sad to think of this but that’s what hit me when I notice how my brothers and sisters have aged.
So, parents, have all your kids at one go! Never space too far apart.
