myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5358)   ranked 6 out of 6,153 in family5 months ago

I discovered this quote in an email newsletter that I regularly receive:

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. We live outside the touch of time.

--Clara Ortega

I have always held a similar belief, but had never stated it quite so eloquently. Do you believe this to be a true statement based upon your own personal experience or the observations of others sibling interactions?

This is lovely world, thank you for sharing it.
I know for some families it is hard to communicate, but I find these words to be so very true...I am very close to my brothers and sisters...the family unit, though we be far in distance apart, there is always the common thread...God Bless World, my lovely friend xoxoxoox

This quote really hit me where I live, Ocean, because I have had a complicated history with my siblings due to the fact that we did not all grow up together. We really had to work hard at developing any type of normal sibling relationship. Thank you for your response. happy

I don't have any brothers or sisters pal, My sister died at 10 months old before I was born, I do often wonder though what it would have been like if she had lived xx


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5358)   ranked 6 out of 6,153 in family  5 months ago

I grew up apart from my siblings, weemam, and it affected me greatly during the early part of my life. I carefully watched the interaction between siblings among my friends and neighbors to see how it should be done.

My brother recently died and this quote gives me comfort. I take it to mean this: Even though far away he may be, in my heart he'll stay close.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5358)   ranked 6 out of 6,153 in family  5 months ago

I am sorry for your loss, SomeCowgirl, because I know what you might be feeling since I lost the sister I was very close to almost two years ago. She is also still close to me on a daily basis and a constant reminder that we will be together again one day.

4. myLot reputation of 99/100. ElusiveButterfly (8906)   ranked 4 out of 6,153 in family   5 months ago

I most certainly do believe this. I am close to my siblings. Often times I pull the family together so we can spend time together. We don't look at each other as getting older. We laugh about the good times and help each other through the sad times. We don't get older, just wiser.


myLot reputation of 97/100. worldwise1 (5358)   ranked 6 out of 6,153 in family  5 months ago

My family is not close in that way, Elusive, but the ones that are still here are there for each other should the need arise. It is a precious gift to have a close relationship with your siblings.
