Me and Mine


I have some pretty amazing siblings. I love them with all my heart.


Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet. ~Vietnamese Proverb

"Bless you, my darling, and remember you are always in the heart - oh tucked so close there is no chance of escape - of your sister."





There's no other love like the love for a brother. There's no other love like the love from a brother. ~Astrid Alauda


Our brothers and sisters are there with us from the dawn of our personal stories to the inevitable dusk. ~Susan Scarf Merrell


A sibling may be the keeper of one's identity, the only person with the keys to one's unfettered, more fundamental self. ~Marian Sandmaier


The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble. ~Clara Ortega


After a girl is grown, her little brothers - now her protectors - seem like big brothers. ~Astrid Alauda


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


Sibling relationships - and 80 percent of Americans have at least one - outlast marriages, survive the death of parents, resurface after quarrels that would sink any friendship. They flourish in a thousand incarnations of closeness and distance, warmth, loyalty and distrust. ~Erica E. Goode, "The Secret World of Siblings," U.S. News & World Report, 10 January 1994
