Trying to work on clearing a closet today and found pictures,cards & letters from our children.
Got very little done but the memories
stuffed into those closet spaces !!
To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were, we know each other’s hearts, we share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys.
– Clara Ortega
I do find the sibling connection endlessly fascinating, as I do all family dynamics. I like how siblings seem to create their own parentless mini-civilization within a family, one that has its own laws, myths, language, humor, its own loyalties and treacheries.

Your siblings are the only people in the world who know what it’s like to have been brought up the way you were.
– Betsy Cohen
Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago
– the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker,
the avoider…
It doesn’t seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we’ve traveled.
