My Siblings

I have one brother and two sisters.

I didn't grow up with all of them.
Actually, I spent my first 15 years with my eldest sis.
It was like a love-hate relationship at that time; I was blamed for getting all the attention.
However, it didn't leave a trail of bad feelings when we grow up.

My eldest sis joined my parents, brother and younger sis in KL when she was 18; So I was left alone back home with aunts and uncles.

I was brought up in an environment of responsibilities, love and care, in fact, very much protected and strict.
I had quite a tough time in learning to be independent; in a way that no one is 'hurt' and very 'carefully', just to gain enough trust for me to handle my own things!
And.....turn out to be, I'm 'in-charge' of everything now, at home I mean!

It was not easy to go through childhood like this, got a little confused at times.

And now, having my own family, still far away from my siblings but I thank God, my parents and all my old folks for giving me such great and supportive siblings who never fail to stand by me when I needed them.

I hear a lot from my friends talking about their siblings or incidents happen at home.
Sometimes, I find it difficult to understand certain situations that they are in.
They can be rather calculative among themselves at times.
They tend to protect themselves and sacrifice their siblings if the situation only allowed to have one positive side, and so on and so on........

Whew....! Shedding the sweat from my forehead! I'm grateful my siblings are not like that!

Well, apart from our parents, the next closest persons-having blood tie, would have been our siblings before we have any kids.
Isn't it amazing? We should be thankful and treasure these bonds that God and our parents have created for us.
I do. I'm glad that we are so close.
Praying that these bonds last forever as they were meant to be from the beginning.

My dear friends, if you have not been giving your siblings a call, a gift, a hug or just a simple 'hello',
do it now, you are blessed to have siblings!
