Brothers and sisters are as close as hands and feet.*
Brother's sleeping over at my place since Monday, though he's a bit non-talkative and busy working on a project. We might go to the Pirineos (mountain range between Spain and France) Saturday, then to Cubelles. We had lunch with mom yesterday, and I carried on the tradition of crying bitterly into my petit chou (aka profiteroles).
I don't think I could handle going over the details of the Mother-Brother-Me dynamics. Let's just say that it can be tough at times, and that it seems I've been going on too long without being criticized. I seem to have grown soft in protecting myself against harsh words.
But then there's those rare moments of camaradie which almost make it all worthwhile.
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.
