Our girls – now grown young adults are 7 years apart. They have essentially lived as siblings and as only children. They love and “like-not-like” each other at times and then other times “DEFEND” each other to the “Nth” degree.
This year I was super impressed by their growth. They both stood their ground, communicated properly, and had reciprocal conversation- which is a RARE JOY! Now they miss each other. Who would have thought.
