Siblings love them ... forgive them

Siblings
are a blessing
and a curse,
sometimes they drive you crazy
or just the reverse.

I love my brothers and my sister. One brother I seldom hear from unless there is a family issue, I do not think he understands the concept of texting because he never sends or answers text. One brother sends me daily “be encouraged” religious messages, he understands the concept of texting and I suspect he is convinced the my mother, my sister, my other brother, and me are all going to hell; however, at this period in my life the last thing I am worried about is a family reunion in hell. I am sure my sister does not know how to text, but I am worried about her because she just lost her husband to a brain aneurism.

Siblings
make life interesting.

What is there to say about siblings? My mother was an only child and wished all her life that she had siblings. She had cousins, but they are not the same as brothers and sisters. I think the reason Mom had more then one child is that she did not want any of her offspring to be an only child. My father had several siblings and I never did get to ask him what he thought about the subject, but he probably thought a large family was all right.

I love my brothers and sister. I probably would love my half-sister if I ever met her. After all, she is one of my siblings and despite everything, family is family and you eventually to learn to love and forgive them or at least make them understand that you will not put up with their impolite behavior when they are in your house. You do not necessarily have to live in the same house or city with them, but you do eventually learn to forgive them and even laugh about some of the things they do to and for you.

My siblings and me
all have different religions
and different political affiliations,
but common genetic components,
we drive each other crazy
which is what siblings are supposed to do.
