We asked you, Dear Readers, to tell us what is the most wonderful thing your brother/sister has done for you.
Sonia Tyagi Gupta from Delhi tells us how her brother Gaurav has supported her during lean times.
When my brother was born, I hated him!
I was my dad's little princess, and after six years, he came from nowhere and became the apple of my parents' eyes.
I felt left out and alone and didn't like him.
I was dark and ugly and he was picture perfect, fair skinned with golden hair.
Everyone who saw us commented on the contrast of complexion.
With time, I started accepting my ugliness and his beauty.
Time flew. I got married.
He was my anchor in all the difficult situations; always level-headed and more mature than his age.
After 12 years of marriage, I ended up being a widow with a nine-year-old son.
He was my pillar of strength during that time.
With his constant support and counselling, I am now happily married and have a life of my own.
He is a constant in our life. My son is his life.
