Sisters

I have tears while I see my two aunts having lunch together. They are unmarried, aged and sometimes ailing. But what's good is that they have each other. They may sometimes argue and disagree about something or anything but at the end of the day they still live together as siblings. The natural pull and sisterly love  and no need for affirmation. I remember a time when one of the sister got terribly ill and the family and relatives thought she  was almost dead and the sisters already asking for forgiveness and crying their heart out. Only to be revived by drops of Coke into her mouth. She had a low sugar. And when she got better  that situation has become an anecdote.
 It made me sad not having any sister, the biological ones but I do hope that my best friends whom I consider sister will be part of my life for the longest time possible. They are like the family we chose and also we would commit to be in their lives as well. 
It's being there although we are not technically obligated to each other. 
I think that this is the greatest expression of love.  Having my own little tribe....
