Pam's brother doesn’t quite grasp the concept of half-siblings.

This is Pam.

Pam has a little brother, who recently learned that he is actually her half-brother. Of course, half-siblings are still very much siblings, but Pam's brother doesn't quite grasp the concept yet and seems upset about having to part with 50% of his sister.


So when she came home recently, she found this letter he'd written. It will make you cry, so have off-brand tissues on hand:

brother, sister, family dynamics, sibling love

Letter with love from her brother.

OMG.

brother, Oprah, good stories

As if this letter isn't enough to turn your heart into a soft pile of oatmeal, he also left her some of her (presumably) favorite snacks, like Chips Ahoy and Takis (excellent choices!).

Pam, being a human with a soul, was deeply moved and tweeted out a photo of her little brother's letter:

"My little brother found out I\u2019m not his fully sister and I came home to this...”

It quickly went viral. And now the whole internet is now welling up with tears.

And others are sharing their own sibling stories:

These are so, so sweet.

Remember this next time you get into a fight with your sibling. Half or whole, doesn't matter.

Awesome chart shows you how far you can drive on empty.

There are two types of people in this world – those who panic and fill up their cars with gas when the needle hits 25% or so, and people like me who wait until the gas light comes on, then check the odometer so you can drive the entire 30 miles to absolute empty before coasting into a gas station on fumes.

I mean…it's not empty until it's empty, right?
