[quote=Anonymous]I come from a family of five girls.  My dad has two sisters. My mom has three sisters.  Everyone is super close.  The running family joke when any sisters fight is "She's like your only sister!  Well, not really, but she COULD be."

I think it was our parents example of reaching out to siblings, over and over, in different ways, throughout our childhoods.  An uncle picked me up from school once when I had to go home sick. A cousin came to visit my sister right after getting her braces off with a bunch of foods you can't eat with braces. We had sleepovers.

Now, as adults, my sisters and I agreed that we wouldn't marry anyone if one of us disliked the guy. We live within 3 blocks of each other, and are raising all our kids the same way.  They see us running over with a dress for a sister who has an interview. They get a knock at the door when a spouse is traveling, with a meal for dinner.  We go on vacations together.   One sister lent another sister her car when a car broke down. [/quote]
