So lets talk about my siblings as all will know I have three sisters
and one brother all younger then me which is ok with me I have no
problem being the eldest, however, I have to say I often feel left
out I don't know why I just do.
I married Tim way back when and I guess that is why I have been
pretty independent, I had Tim and I had Kathy-Lee and Natasha and
later of course Jessica and my girls took up my time so I didn't have
time to hang out with my sisters Jeannie and Sue. Sue in fact when
she was only 16 decided to go and live with Rex her boyfriend at the
time who was 32 yeah you read that right she later married him but
then when her youngest Kelli was only a toddler she left him and they
later divorced.
Sue lived about a 40-45 minuted drive from the rest of the family and
we didn't see her very often to be honest way back then I felt that
Rex didn't like our family and that was why she didn't come to many
family functions not even Christmas, I don't know for a fact that was
how he felt it was just the feeling I got.
Also Sandra and David are a lot younger then me, I was 15 when Sandy
was born and 16 when Dave was born so when I married Tim and left
home they were still pretty young I was nearly 22 when I married Tim.
Of course now that we are all older and such we still all see each
other often and talk often, hell I am going to dog sit for Dave at
the end of the month and I spoke to Sandy last night and saw Jeannie
on Friday with Sandy and Dave at breakfast at the local shopping
centre.
I know I am lucky to be so close to my siblings as I know some people
are not, people like Tim he hasn't really spoken to any of his
siblings since his step-father passed away and as some will know Tim
doesn't talk to his father any more.

Nice that you all still talk and get together and help each other out. :)
ReplyDeleteYes I guess it is, I know many families are not as close as we are
DeleteLaurie and I have both played the "up and down with family togetherness" game. Everyone talks a good game for a while, and then drifts back to "normal."
ReplyDeleteYeah I think many families are like that talk a good game but it fizzles out pretty quick
DeleteYou are blessed to have so many siblings - It was good hearing about them.
ReplyDeleteThank you I am indeed and we all get along many siblings do not so I am truly blessed
