Sibling Society

A couple of weeks ago, I read an article about Siblings, in Time Magazine, that has really stuck with me. It was basically about how siblings are the ones who really shape a person's personality. They are also the only true life partners, because spouses come during adulthood (some come & go) and parents die before the end of life. Plus, the amount of time kids & even teenagers spend with their siblings is astounding.

Over the last year, I have come to realize how important family is. There are no other relationships that quite match ones with siblings. Nobody else understands why you think the way you do (crazy) or the things that shaped your life. Besides thinking about my relationships with my siblings, I have been thinking about how much I have always wanted several kids. **Believe me, I am not trying to make an announcement here or even planning to try soon.** I am just hoping that I can have more kids because siblings are the fabric of our lives. I want that for Lexi. Maybe one day, she'll have a sister who is her nanny for the summer.
