Do you have any sibling(s)?
Four brothers and three sisters. I lost one sister to a drunk driver when we were 16.
Are you older, or younger?
Oldest.
How well do you get along?
Katie and I shared a very close relationship that I think is unique to identical twins.
My sister and I are very close. I was her guardian from the time she was 15 to her graduating, so it's been a kind of half sister/half parent type of relationship. I'm on good terms with my oldest brother, who visits occasionally and whom I talk to about once a week. I have no contact with any of the others because my parents won't permit it.
Are they near, or far from where you currently live?
Sissy lives with me, Boris is in college on the other side of the country, the rest are with my parents in the MidWest.
Do you speak with them very often? If so, is it on good terms?
I speak with Sissy every day, Boris about once a week. The others I haven't spoken to in five years.
Have you ever told them how much they mean to you, or do you prefer to show it through your actions?
I don't accept that this is an either or. I tell Sissy daily and I show her in how I treat her daily. Boris is too far away for me to do anything other than words, and no contact with the others precludes doing anything.
Name one good thing you did for them growing up.
I took Sissy away from my parents.
