Hey ♥ Sibs
Way back, when we lived, together, in this fabulous house
I would sometimes wonder what it would be like if I were an only child, like Cindy, two doors down. Cindy had it MADE !! my childhood me would exclaim !! She never had to share, she had no pesky squabbles to deal with, no back and forth adjustments or compromises, there were no hand-me-downs in Cindy’s world, nope … just two loving parents and a mountain of toys
& ahhhh,
WHAT. A. LIFE.
I’d be yanked out of my daydream and placed into reality pretty quickly though, with a tug or a laugh or a reminder of some sort that here with YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU and YOU is where I belong. And since today is National Siblings Day,
I need to share some appreciates !
To Big Bro, for his music loving, strong man, I can move anything !! helpfulness and teddy bear heart, whose genuine spirit, I try to mirror.
To Big Sis, with her solid as a rock practicality and spot-on perspective, whose understanding ways ♥ GET ME ♥ like no one else.
To Younger Bro and his comedic talent, his Name That Tune texts and lightning-fast DIBS calling, which have giggled me off the edge more times than I dare count.
To Younger Sis and her exclamation point personality, her love of flowers and I’ll be right there support, who shows me, time and time again, the power of !! LET’S DANCE !!
And to Youngest Sis, with her quiet nudges of encouragement and simple, thinking of you, just because-s, continually reaffirming this quest called writing …
It’s because of you, my siblings, I sit at this laptop today. You’ve gifted me your awesome brand of uniqueness to keep on keeping on, to do, to be !! and I am truly blessed to call you mine.
Yep.
It’s been one interesting ride with you fine souls and there have been plenty of times when we’ve disagreed, when we’ve driven each other absolutely wacky, when we sooooo wished to hand over that knock upside the head, but I honest to goodness wouldn’t change a thing.
! Happy Sibs Day, Sibs !
I can’t imagine this journey without you.
And I thank,
oooooh, I thank.
