Thicker than Water?

“They say that ‘blood is thicker than water’ but in my case it is the opposite: I have far stronger bonds with my friends than I do with my own siblings.”

“There were only us two girls in the family so you’d think that we’d have a very close relationship. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Even though we’re in our forties it’s the same as it’s always been — we can never get along. I’ve given up hoping it will ever change. She’s just too crazy.”

“I feel so incredibly blessed to have such close ties with my siblings. We are truly each other’s very best friends.”
