Siblings Are The Best

Rating: 5.0

It's such a comfort to me
in my old age
to still have all my brothers
and sisters.

For all the stupid things I've done
in my life, it's a miracle
that they still have me.

Call it luck or call it providence,
but I call it divine intervention.

For some reason, I was meant to hang
around this long. Our days are all
numbered, but we never know the number.

Maybe my number is almost up,
or maybe I'll still be around
for a few more years.

My wife once had eight sisters.
Now she has only six remaining.
Two have passed away in the last
eighteen months or so.

Tell your loved ones that you do
love them. Don't let them guess.

Brothers and sisters, I truly do
love each and every one of you
and am grateful to have you
in my life.

A wonderful heart-felt tribute to your siblings. There's nothing greater than love of family.
