Allah did not give me a brother or sister..

[anonymous]

Thankyou for your replies, i read every single one..

I have good friends and good girl cousins, but seriously nothing can compare. Yes you can have a really close friend, but they won't grow up with you in your home and know you inside out and have the same bond you do with your parents, sharing that special something that only immediate family can. They're not there sitting with me having dinner every night, breakfast, there 1st thing in the morning, last thing at night, they're not on family holidays, they're not arguing with me everyday about trivial things, banging on the bathroom door, giving me money which they don't expect to be paid back, doing every little favour for me even though it annoys them..you see what i mean?

And i know that i am lucky in so many ways, i thank Allah all the time for how lucky i am to have so many good things in my life, and i know there are so many people worse off than me, but you can say that about almost any situation. I just wanted to share my pain in what i believe many people take for granted. I know you guys are trying to make me feel better and put things in perspective by saying how other people are worse off, but i already know that, and it doesn't take away the essence of my situation.

I don't feel Allah has been cruel to me, or un-fair, i just wonder what test he is giving me and what i must do, and i do really pine for my brother, but i know Allah will reward me for all this and already rewards me in many ways.

It's good to let it out.

Hang in there =) Maybe this is our test? To be an only child, to crave for a sister/brother to:

Yes, I know what you mean as I am in the same boat. Allah's wisdom, sister, Allah's wisdom.
