Apparently it's National Sibling Day, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and put up some pictures of mine. I am quite sure that I have some that are better than this, but that would require some hunting, and I am not up to that tonight...so maybe some other time.
My brothers have molded me into who I am, perhaps more than any other. We have been through so much together....good and bad. We have always been pretty close. I remember as teenagers, my brother Doug had this no-fail-get-rich-quick-scheme. The plan was that he was going to sell me to another family for 5 million dollars, buy me back for $1 million and give me $10 for my trouble. I suggested that maybe the other family wouldn't want to sell me back. His reply: "Oh they will, trust me, they will".
When we get together there is usually laughter...and often frustration, because there is a lot of joking and sometimes trying to get people to be serious for a moment is next to impossible. If you only knew.... Our lives are all different and busy now....but one thing will not change, and that is how very much I love them and how thankful I am to have them...even if we don't see each other so frequently. I always wished for a sister, but I wouldn't trade my brothers for anything.
"I know it's a cliche, but the whole family is just whacked. I mean, we're all out of our minds. They're the funniest, most eccentric bizarre people I've ever met, my siblings."
