They say that if you have a friend, you have a treasure. And I would like to add: if you have a sibling, you have an even greater treasure. I\u00b4m extremely lucky in that I have not one, not two, but four siblings, two brothers and two sisters, all of whom I had the pleasure of spending time with this weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear siblings, I\u00b4ve learned so much from all of you, and I have so many things to thank you for that I don\u00b4t even know where to start. Someday I\u00b4ll write down a list. For the moment, here are a couple of quotes on siblings that resonate a lot with me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siblings: children of the same parents, each of whom is perfectly normal until they get together.<\/p>Sam Levenson<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

They say that no matter how old you become, when you are with your siblings, you revert back to childhood.<\/p>Karen White<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>Clara Ortega<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Thanks so much, Javi, \u00c1ngel, Mamen and Cristina, for looking after me, teaching me and loving me always. Here\u00b4s to all of you, and also to our eldest brother, who loves us and looks after us from Heaven. Big hugs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
