My sister is the most annoying person on the planet (I am guessing she'll say the same about me lol), and she is the sweetest, gentlest, most caring thoughtful sister anyone could ever wish for...we both are with each other....
When we were growing up we didn't know each other weren't allowed to mix as such and were encouraged to hate and hurt each other, that was his ( my father that is) way of keeping us from forming alliances and turning on him....
When we got older we all tried and even pretended we got on and even liked each other, but we really didn't and had nothing much in common...so we seperated, I still have nothing to do with 3 of my siblings, 1 died and that leaves me, my sister and my eldest brother...we 3 have worked hard over the years to form bonds....Gill my sister and I succeeded a lot easier than Dave and us did, I think it was because Gill and I had our kids at about the same time and they were a common bond.....but when I was pregnant with Kirsty and homeless at the time, Gill really helped out and made sure we wanted for nothing, I have never forgotten that and have done the same back for her ....Gill even lived with me for a week, leaving her husband at home and bringing her children to my place when I had my nervous breakdown and was there for me 24/7...since then Gill and I have times when neither of us had 2 brass halfpenny's to rub together, but there are other times when one of us and even sometimes both of us are really flush, at those times we help each other out....a few weeks ago when Gill needed to get her house ready to take the students in, Mal and I went over 4 days running and scrubbed, sorted, moved furniture and made sure the house was perfect and ready....I think we appreciate each other a lot more because we had to work at our relationship, we have both said if we weren't Sisters we would still be friends and now Dave our oldest brother (the multi millionaire) is also coming round and opening up and learning to trust us and even like us and like Gill he is a star....he actually paid for this holiday, well not all of it, but about 2 thirds of it and he is the one that is sorting my house out and he is paying for that too....he says this is my belated 50th birthday present (he always has to justify things by making it for a reason lol ), but I know it's because he paid for my sister to have a holiday and did a lot of work on her house too....so yes I am a very lucky person, I have 2 really wonderful siblings that I never dreamt many years ago that I would have xxx:hug99: xxx
I have always said that if you read my life story and then were asked to put it into a category, most people would select a fairytale as being that category, because even to me that's exactly how it feels....nothing in my life has run smooth, not my childhood, not my relationship with my siblings and definitely not my realtionship with Mal....7 years we were apart and been back together 26 years next month, and happier than ever ...crazy life, but one hell of a ride lol xxx
.........it shows the true measure of you in that you were willing to work at it and now have a fantastic relationship. I have a brother and a sister and I would go to the ends of the earth for either of them and I know that they would do the same for me and tbh I can't imagine a life without them..........xx
