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
Today I came home late and talked with my younger sister on the phone for a while. As I hung up the phone I suddenly realized how much I love her and how our relationship has changed. 
We used to argue a lot, driving our mother mad with our rows. But there was always love between us and in the past years she has become my closest and truest friend. I guess all that duality was necessary to get to the beautiful point we are now :))
I don't believe an accident of birth
makes people sisters or brothers.
It makes them siblings, gives them mutuality of parentage.
Sisterhood and brotherhood is a condition
people have to work at.
~Maya Angelou
