| Christmas, 1982 Front to back: Austin, Sarah and me. |
Adult sibling relationships are hard. They take work, acceptance, patience and forgiveness. It's amazing to me how three people born to the same parents, raised in the same house, can be so different from each other. But, alas, it is true. We experienced many of the same things growing up, but we were experiencing them from different perspectives, at different developmental stages and with different personalities.
In my opinion we all turned out pretty well. We don't always see things eye to eye, and we don't always say the correct most loving things to each other, but we are family. We are very lucky to be friends and enjoy spending time together. I am lucky to have a brother and a sister that always have my back and love me for who I am...even though they know my every fault, my every mistake and every bad judgment I've made. They know all of that and they are still here.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm pretty lucky to have grown up with these people and to still have them in my life today. Even if we are completely different from one another - we are friends in the truest sense of the word.
Much love to Sarah and Austin. <3
