Families
are funny.
Sometimes
a family member can be a best friend. But all too often, childhood competition
and conflict break families apart. Even as adults, the ties of family – which
we’re told should be the strongest – don’t always survive.
I’m one of
five siblings. We weren’t close growing up but we’ve settled some of our
differences and found common ground we can all deal with over the years. Not easy,
but greatly rewarding. But one of my
best friends can’t even talk to her sister because of the hurts they both
carry.
