siblings

Well God has blessed me with two elder sisters and i am the youngest in my family. Well my elder sister now has her own family and so does my second sister. My case is still pending.

Today on the eye of Chinese New Year, my elder sister had come visiting me in my hometown. Well she has three daughters and as the youngest one was playing with her dolls, I could not help remembering that my sister looked exactly like her younger daughter. I mean you must be think of course since she is the mother and she would surely look like her daughter. Well the point that i am trying to make is that, when i was small i could not afford to buy and eat a lot of things as my dad was the only person working. But now that i am working and can earn my own money, i have been given a chance to spend time again with "a little version of my sister" through my sister's daughter. I mean i really do let the girls have their way with me. I know the girls at times take advantage and can get away with me as i give in to their every demand. Well not that their demands are big, a simple buying of curry puffs or buying a story book is what they ask for. Well surely i am entitled to that much  for my nieces and nephew.
Sometimes it is amazing how things fall into places, each year as the hair on my head become more and more gray, and the wrinkles on my face start to show, and we tease each other on  getting old. I still thank God for the family that i have as i am able to enjoy playing and goofing around with my nieces and nephew. Well that is what children need, just some attention and some love and tend.
My middle niece is the type who is very sensitive and today my  heart felt for her. I mean she confessed to something in tears and it was really a touching moments for me. It brought back tons of memories of my childhood. Apparently while she was keeping her washed clothes she had accidently fell and while falling her knee had hit her sister's jewelry box and there was a sound of glass cracking. Well she had broke the glass and she was so afraid to tell her mother. Well i mean for a small 8 years to confess to a thing like this was difficult but she did confess to it and i was very proud of her. She could have lied but she confess and was going to take whatever punishment that came along, Well my sister did not punish her and consider it as an accident. Well it really took a small innocent girl a lot of guts to confess to a small accident.
This is really nice and hats off to my sister for teaching good values at such a young age.!!!
Children teach us in our lives everyday and dealing with children everyday in school i can see and learn from them.
Sometimes i wish i had a brother. I had even told my parents that you guys should have given me a brother as i am all alone but i thank God for the sisters that i have.If given a chance once more i would never change any part of my childhood...
