the gift of siblings

erk recently sent me this article and it (in the words of a friend of mine) made my little heart sing
i could not agree more with the sentiments expressed in the article
we should have a siblings day, where we recognize and celebrate our siblings and our relationship to them. what a gift!

a unique relationship unlike any other,
all my siblings are very different and i, in turn, have different relationships to each of them. while i was fortunate enough to be raised with some, i have others separated by more time and distance,
despite this we share a unique bond.

i am grateful to my parents for giving me these gifts that no one else could provide.

so true.
I just came back form a wedding.
relatives but as distant as they could be,
nevertheless I was delighted because there were so many siblings from different generations that made things somehow special.
yes, definitely, the different combinations of all you seven is something that you should treasure !!
you do not need sibling day, just try to get together in every possible occasion.
