Rakshabandhan : Missing a Sister

Its not something new, but almost every year this feeling comes back to hurt me. In my clan my father are four brothers (obviously my dad included). And barring my elder uncle (my tau ji) everyone has sons. That makes it 6 boys and 1 girl in our clan's present generation.
But for some reason there has always been a great divide between our elder uncle and the rest of the clan due to which we brothers never practically had any sister at all though my cousin sister is almost 6 years older than me.
On many occassions such as raksha bandhan and bhai douj I used to tie rakhi to my younger brother and he would do the same to me.
The absence of a sister is felt in my life, I cannot say about my brothers but I do feel the absence.
I really envy all those guys who have a sister. Guys you must value her as the most precious person in your life.
