I'm a lucky so and so

Found out today is National Siblings Day. Well, I've got that covered! I'm the oldest of six, and they're all great people. Yeah yeah, we all screw up sometimes, but overall, a bunch of people who have each other's backs.

And that, from what I've observed over many years, is not the usual situation.
So naturally I served my own children well by providing each of them with four super cool sibs, too! Because I wanted them to have what I have.
You're welcome!
I credit my parents with our excellent situation. Dad always told me that friends will come and go, but your siblings will always be there for you if you build a strong relationship with them from the get go.
And he made damned sure we did! Even when it killed us!
So I've tried to pass this on to my kids.
Yeah, I know you hate each other sometimes, and that you get on each other's nerves sometimes. Hell, you get on MY nerves half-all-the-time! So I get it.
My siblings tick me off regularly. That's because we're human. And we sometimes find ourselves at cross-purposes.
But when the chips are down, we always, always choose each other over friends, property, money, standing, you name it.
And I want my own children to make these choices.
My gift to you guys is the same one my parents gave me and mine: Hammering it into your heads that you're stuck with each other, and you're in luck about that! You each have five lifelong champions.

Don't abuse this. Don't lie to each other. Don't steal from each other. Return what you borrow. Do favors for free. Admire each other. Respect each other. Turn a blind eye to things that don't really matter. Support each other. Never allow anything materialistic or ridiculous break you up.
Love one another.
As I love you.
