Please Keep your Opinions to Yourself

I have heard a lot of weird statements from people in my life. Most of them are insensitive statements but I am a good natured person so unless I am already cranky I just roll with it and let it good. No sense letting people upset because they are insensitive rude or just plain idiots.

• Did your parents want a boy?
• Your the next to get married!
• Its not like he'she is your real dad/brother/sister!

What? Are you telling me that someone is not my family? Do you even know what family is? Just because someone is not biologically my family member does not mean they are not my family. Family to me are the people who laugh with you durung the good times, cry with you when you are sad, cheer for you when you are up and let you lean on them when your down. And sharing the same DNA does not have anything to do with it.

Being that my parents divorced before I was in grade school it’s a fair guess that 1 or more of my siblings is technically not my full sibling but why is it your business and why do you care? And why is it so important to you that you need to go out of your way of making a comment like, "He is just your stepbrother why are you so sad he died?" I will tell you why...because he was my brother.

And for your information since you need to label people to make yourself feel better, I have 1 brother, 2 half-sisters, 1 half-sister, 1 step-brother, 1 sister-in-law and briefly I had 2 step-sister. But to me they are just my siblings and I love them all.
