Nobody wants to go through life completely alone. We all seek out the comfort of someone at least once in our lives. The first to love and comfort us was our mothers. They fed us, they clothed us, they made us feel safe from monsters living under our beds. Thats that's what good mothers do. We all love our mothers and they love us back.
If you are lucky you have brothers and sister whom you love and love you back.
I love my brother and sisters. I don't ever remember them being mean to me or hitting me out of anger. I'm the youngest of four and having a younger brother to watch I imagine would cramp your style when you wanted to hang out with your friends. They would take me places with them even when they didn't have to. As we grew older our love changed as we did. We grew into very different people with very different lives. There are times when I wonder if I met my siblings today would we be friends. The honest answer is, probably not. But because we are family we have a shared history and a relationship that transcends friendship. It is more, so much more than any friendship I've every had. It is a love that we have cultivated over a lifetime. We are better people for having each other in our lives.
Yes, I am really lucky.
