you're that much closer to knowing me.
no doubt you know the benefits of sibling rivalry but as a proper only child- born and raised- not a part-timer, like you ;)-i can assure you that there really is nothing to feel sorry for- i know ive said it before- but we dont know any different- ignorance is bliss, right? maybe it would have been nice to have had a sibling, but i have something as good, if not better; so many amazing friends, some of whom have been like sisters/brothers to me- you know who you are(if you happen to stumble across this remarkble site lol) i cant thank them enough. and as long as you are surrounded by the people who love you, what more can you ask? and there are benefits- you should take tim's fudge into account;)and dont feel lonely- absence makes the heart grow fonder- man i rele am full of it today!! just remember to have an even better time when theyre around:)

p.s. why did you post this twice? hehe
Touching story you wrote here. You're right, the relationship with siblings is something beautiful and often underappreciated. Taking your family and friends for granted, can make you dwell on small things and sometimes forget how much you actually need them. Being the older child, I've never been left 'alone'. I chose to be on my own. But even though it might sometimes be tough for you to be on your own, it's also not easy to leave someone alone. Knowing that your not going to have your brother or sister around everyday, can be hard. But you realize that it is a choice you have to make. Because one day you are all going to flee your nest and you might as well be the first one to go.
Keep up the lovely writing and enjoy every bit of your family time with christmas,
xx Kim
