How would you feel if you discovered that your sibling was in fact a half-sibling? To many people it wouldn’t matter that much, it’s the relationship that counts. But to a child, being told that some part of your sibling has been suddenly taken away from you can be a devastating blow.

Pam shared the moving letter on Twitter and it is turning hearts to mush, with people in awe at the pure and unconditional love that Pam’s brother clearly has for his big sis. Her post has since gone viral, and is encouraging others to share their own beautiful sibling stories too!

    All of my siblings are scientifically half siblings but I would never refer to them that way, they are my sisters and brothers. Both of my parents were married with two kids before marrying each other and having me.

    Same would be with my baby. It already have a big brother from it's father side. And boy also have younger sister from his mother side. He's just going to have another half brother, but I will never call him like that. They will be siblings and that's it.

    What an amazing story of pure love. I have been blessed and cursed with my siblings, as I am sure many people feel about their own. It's heartfelt to see someone write how they feel in pen and give of themselves so completely. What an amazing brother.

    Kinda different, kinda the same. My mother-in-law refused to introduce me as her daughter-in-law. She always just said this is my daughter. It caused some shock. She was a sweet Jewish Bubbe from the valley, I'm black. I sure did love that woman.

    That is a wonderful story! She obviously loved you very much. Those kinds of bonds are worth more than all the gold in the world. Thanks for sharing.

    In the end, it should be love that counts. Not biology. 💕

    This does affect some so greatly, my nephew was adopted by my brother when he was a baby, fast-forward to his 20's and he found out his sister and brothers were "half", this has been devastating for him in so many ways, he's worked through most of it but not without a heavy cost, I was never, EVER for them not telling him the truth when he was young, I wish they had told him, it ended up being horrible for him, and still is in many ways. You can't judge people and their heart felt feelings, what doesn't make sense to you might be earth shattering to someone else. I love this story, made me tear up, such a very sweet story.

    I have a "step sister" and "step brother" I know that's literally no blood relation but they are the most amazing people and we have always referred to each other as just regular ol brothers and sisters even though our parents are now divorced. I even call my now ex step dad plain old dad because he was the person who raised me when my sperm diner decided his alcoholic wife and yorkies were the most important things in his life.... sorry for the mini rant I just don't think blood has anything to do with family

    Because that's what they are. Most family it seems now days have these things. Legally and scientifically these terms need to exist. But as far as what they are to you is what they are.

    Labels. Family is just a word in a Dictionary. True family is any individual that accepts you for the individual you are. Blood or no blood, it is the content of the individuals character that you rely on at days end. Bless you both and I hope this carries you thru all that life will throw in your path.

    I was adopted and I told my brother that, " I am always irritated when I am around you and baffled by your ridiculous life choices. Every bit as much AS IF YOU WERE MY REAL BROTHER!"
