My younger sister, however, was second born and not the youngest as Mary O'Kane was for a few years. My sister was understandably quite disappointed when the youngest in our family turned out to be another boy -- but she and he are now quite close. Still I think she would have loved to have had a sister at some point -- and I am sure that would have changed the family dynamics in many ways (probably mostly positive). But then my parents would have had five children to raise -- three boys and two girls -- and the cost and stress of doing that boggles my mind when I consider the challenges of raising just two sons (AND the joys of doing so also!).Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139639019457759712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448983254191618156.post-90399349273303990122015-01-13T23:00:36.022-05:002015-01-13T23:00:36.022-05:00I'm glad that there was a second girl in the f...I'm glad that there was a second girl in the family. When I first saw the photo, I thought that it must have been difficult to be the only girl in a family with four brothers. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
