Once upon a time, there was a close-knit family made of siblings, Goldie Lock, Red Riding Hood, Popeye Sailorman & Jack Beanstock, their spouses and children. They, very often, found time to gather around for every family event and it was the envy of the neighbourhood. But one day, heart failure became a personal experience of pain, grief and tears. Suddenly, one fine day, the siblings lost their father whom they so respected and loved. From that day forward, life looked very different through the eyes of the family.
The siblings who were once so close-knit began to disintegrate unintentionally and often left for extended periods of time with very little communications. Sometimes, family breakups happen after long periods of unhappiness. At other times, they happen suddenly and it is hard to understand why. Family relationships change as a result of the split and there is often a lot of adjusting to do. Everyone in the family has a duty to make siblings' relationship works but sadly, nobody feels the need to do so.
Soon, another heartbreaking news came, this time the siblings lost their mother to cancer, the crackline was even more apparent than before. The relationship among the siblings was getting more distant. Psychologists believed, siblings often grow closer than they might in a happier environment, offering each other solace and protection. But disappointedly, this is not always the case. If anything, it is sisters who are likely to draw together to ensure a united family, while brothers resist forming tighter bonds.
Just wonder any of the siblings would initiate to bring the whole family to where they once belong. It will certainly brings back many many fond memories of the past.
