I was an only child till just before I started high school, when my sister was born, and then my brother was born two-and-a-half years after her. We all have the same parents, but our mum had multiple miscarriages between babies one and two.
When I was on only child, I used to refer to myself as a "lonely only" and I dearly wanted a sister. When I finally got one, I was over the moon. She's an adult, now, and we're inseparable. Joined at the hip. I'm not as close to my brother, but I'm probably closer to him than our sister is, since I have more in common with each of them than they have with each other. He's a cool kid, but a total nerd like me, so more of a recluse - ergo, I spend less time with him than my sister. I love them both to pieces, though.
You're quite normal in your desire, and frankly, if I could, I'd have a dozen little demon spawn so that none of them would ever be lonely like I was. It's rough not having siblings. Family is (or at least, should be) the most important thing.
Is it normal to want to have a brother?
