Life with Sisters as Siblings

It is unusual for families to consist of six siblings, much less that each of those siblings be female. So, it's quite a unique thing to be one of six sisters. Since moving to Canada, I try never to take this unique opportunity to be close to my siblings for granted.

Even though a few of us live in the same city, we sisters don't see each other very often (case in point, two sisters are missing from the picture below.) When we can get together, we enjoy each other's company so much. One of the things I most admire about my sisters is their independence and intellect. Each of them have varied career paths and goals, but they remain open and interested in so many things. We always have lively discussions and, because we are so comfortable and open with each other and because my sisters are so well-read, I never stop learning from our conversations, especially on political topics.

I think we challenge and support each other and my relationship with my sisters is one of the most positive relationships in my life, where I get support and encouragement but never a free pass.
