"The greatest gift our parents ever gave us was each other."
I was at the mall the other day and had a random conversation with a store assistant. She saw that I was carrying Ansel so she asked me how old he was, how many kids I have, how many boys and girls and so on before revealing that she comes from a big family too.
One of the things she said echoed my sentiments and that was "有兄弟姐妹是好的，当父母不在了，他们至少还有彼此。" It means that one day when we are gone, at least our kids still have each other for support and company. It's what I've always felt too and one of the reasons why I wanted to have more kids.
Even though they might bicker and fight at this age, it's also plain to see how they love and care for each other. Of course, I hope the bickers will lessen as they grow older and I want the bond to get stronger over time too.
A key message they said to me on Mother's Day was "Thank you, Mama, for bringing me and my siblings into this world so I can play with them." Yup, while they might not always say it, I know they do appreciate and love each other deeply. This is even more apparent since Ansel joined our family because they all dote on him and love him to the moon and back.
有你们，我再也不寂寞。因为你们，我的人生更幸福。May we learn to always cherish each other, my dears. ❤
