Siblings are our first best friends, secret keepers, and go-to people. No matter how much they fight with us, they are the first person with whom we share our sorrow, happiness, and the most cherishing memories of our life. It is a relationship loaded with unconditional love, care, and the joy of being brought up together. We love to fight with them, tease them, and get angry with them but, most importantly we can’t live without them. They stand as a pillar of support to us whenever needed and are like a shelter to go to whenever nothing seems right.
