For those who gave me gifts, I thank you. They were unexpected, but receiving them brought me much pleasure. One offeri...gift in particular has been my favorite, but I am grateful for all that has been given to me

My family didn't get along what you could call wondrously, but I do have a brother I'm fond of. I send him socks every Christmas with my name on them.

[leadsthestars]

Why would you send him something with your name on it?

[dominie]

Well meaning teasing. And he'll always recall who got them for him.

[leadsthestars]

Ah, that is very amusing. Do you think he wears them?

[empirical_data]

My family is dead also. [Though the Enterprise was more his family.]

[leadsthestars]

Dead because of age, or through circumstance?

[empirical_data]

Circumstance, mostly. My brother died by my own hand.

[leadsthestars]

Unfortunate, but sometimes necessary. Not done easily though.

[notarrowette]

Family? I have a mother, but I had more of a family with my friends. And my father died when I was five.

[leadsthestars]

[MOTHERS. GRACK. You get a simple response, Cissie.] Why?

[notarrowette]

[...But it's the hardest question! Also, MOTHERS indeed. :|] It's kind of complicated. I guess the simple answer is that my mother... wasn't much of a mother?

[leadsthestars]

Then shame on your mother. You created the family that you needed.

[darknessb4me]

I can't... remember.

[leadsthestars]

You can't remember your own family? You must have had one.

[darknessb4me]

Oh, yes, I was born a human, I know I had one. I remember my father, because I can still see what he looked like when I killed him. I can't remember what they looked like, though, or what their names were.

You have to change, to become a god in my world. Things must be lost.

[Private]

[leadsthestars]

Because you came something else, you had to lose your past? Is that what you mean?

[timesbureaucrat]

I don't have a family.

[leadsthestars]

That's not possible.

[timesbureaucrat]

I have genetic donors whom I haven't acknowledged for over eight hundred years and whose connection to me has been wiped from nearly every record. I don't believe they count as "family" by any usual definition of the word.

[leadsthestars]

No mother, no father, no siblings. I guess you are completely without.

Loneliness is being without, but also you are with less weaknesses.
