Lately I've been giving a lot of thought to family. Family is very important. It's the only thing true in this world.
I love my family. My Mom is very giving. My Dad shows his love silently. My sister is an amazing young woman. My husband, I love him. I can't imagine my life without any of these people.
But my family extends further than this. I have grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. And of course when you get married your family grows by leaps and bounds overnight. And even though I don't see these people as frequently as I would like, I would still do anything for them because they are family.
Lately I've heard a lot about sisters fighting on all sides of the family. It really bothers me. "Grow-up and get along" is what I want to say to them all. You only get one family. Don't burn your bridges with them--you only get one chance in this life. Regretting not forgiving or helping a family member is the last thing I want to do in this life time.

I agree that life is too short to spend it mad at family. I love my family and hope that we will all remain friends forever. We depend on each other for emotional support.
I have no advice to help with this. I know that it helps me to just be aware that my sister knows how to push my buttons, and sometimes does it intentionally.
We all have our faults, so the best thing we can do is forgive eachother for these and love acceptingly.
