18 year old Pamela and her 17 year old brother Brayan live in Texas.
Brayan recently found out that the siblings don't share the same biological father.
Speaking to Buzzfeed News, Pamela said "My brother and I don’t have the same dad. I found out when I was about 10 years old. I had to keep it a secret because both my mom and I were afraid [that] I was going to be looked at different."
Brayan responded in the best way, wanting to make sure he did something nice for his big sister. He wrote her a letter and bought her tonnes of her favoutire sweets.
"I love you I don't care what people say you are always going to be my sister. My full blooded sister."

When my sister realized we didn’t have the same dad she told me I could share hers and she was gonna tell him to adopt me?

i’m not a full sister to neither of my 3 brothers, but i don’t consider any of them “my half brothers”. i don’t believe in such thing, i love my brothers with all my heart and i don’t need a title “half” to consider them my brothers.
