Siblings make the best friends.
This is one huge lesson my mom taught me growing up. Although we went to school, we were with each other all the time outside of school. Our play dates and time outside of the home was rare. We *had* to learn to like each other. To love each other. To become each other’s best friend. The same has been true with this young crew of ours. Although they fight like all siblings do, they prefer mostly to be with each other. Home is where they are loved for who they are and they love to be here.
I can only hope and pray this closeness continues as the years go on. I am ever so thankful for my own sisters who are still my best friends today.
"The greatest gift you can give
your child is another sibling."
your child is another sibling."
