So it's Siblings' Day...

As a lonely only I have no images of my own to share.

My parents, however were both from families of five so I have dug into the family archives to find some pics of their sibling groups.

From 1947 we have My Mum, her Dad and four Sisters. Mum, Elsie, the eldest of the girls is the sole surviving sibling.

Finding an early photo of my Dad and his siblings was more of a challenge. I found one taken with their mother at my wedding in 1970. Allan, the eldest child in the family is my Dad. I am now the oldest living person in the Curry clan.

I was blessed to have so many loving Aunts and Uncles who spoilt me rotten.

Brothers and Sisters

I do not have any brothers or sisters but we have given our four children brothers and sisters. Through the years I have watched their relationships develop from that of sibling rivalry in their childhood to close adult relationships where they are great friends who support each other.

This morning's video post on The Official Google Blog demonstrates through a series of Google searches the close bond that siblings develop over time.

Take a look.
