Sisters. Siblings have an incredible bond

[cally]

I have two sisters. We fight. We disagree. We compete for our parents attention even though we are middle aged. We are insane together.

I've hit a few crisis in my life and the first folks I call are my sisters. Some of you may remember that I had breast cancer last year. The first folks I wanted to talk to were my sisters. They are my voice of reason and sanity. I just found out that my husband has kidney cancer. I talked to various folks but until I got to rant to my sisters, I wasn't able to process it. (It appears to be caught early and the prognosis is good. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers.) So, I called my sisters who I often fight with, and they just listened and offered love. I am a fortunate woman and I think we often don't appreciate our families enough.

She is cool, she is smart, she is understanding, she is beautiful, she is strong, she is becoming a liberal!

3. same here w/ me and my two sisters. Nothing is right until we

share it.

It upsets me when someone tells me they hate their sister! I don't think I could do without mine.

4. My daughters are very close.

Wish I'd had a sister too.

I'm sending your husband good thoughts and prayers. :hug:

5. My two sisters are very special to me.

One is less than 2 years younger than me; the other is 12 years younger (I consider her my "first" child). Yeah, we've fought, and disagreed, and stuff like that, but when it comes down to it, the three of us are bound together by our love for each other.

6. not the siblings in my family

i think this is pretty dependent on your family or maybe your ethnic group, i am a wasp, i haven't even seen one of my siblings in over 2 decades and i can't say i feel i've missed anything, i just don't feel sharing my problems with siblings is something that is appropriate for our family or something i would ever care to do, we just weren't brought up that way, we were brought up not to talk about anything bad

i realize a lot of people are different, and it's interesting to see it in action, but i am not going to change, it is just ingrained, nor do i think my sibs would care to change or see my change

anyhoo, sisters may or may not rock, i strongly suspect i am in the category of a sister who don't rock even a little bit, i may even be in the category of sisters who suck! :-)

it's interesting how we're all different on the inside

7. That has been my experience too

I see my sibling (2 sisters, brother) once a year at most. We almost never email (once in a while I get pictures of my niece and nephew or I send them some cool pics I've taken or something) but that's about it. We just have nothing in common really, other than being related. We just have our own lives, I guess is how I'd put it.
