When you have a sister

   I once heard of a woman who in her late forties is facing serious pressure from her younger siblings who are all well to do people, all married for her to change her status from single to married. Had they forgotten....they lost their parents at a very fragile and important time of their lives. The big sister was only 17 then and had 3 younger siblings to look after. The only thing left of an inheritance for them was their mother's tailoring shop where the whole family at that time solely survived on. Big sister had to leave school when she was just in SS1 to face squarely the tailoring their mother left them before her demise. She dropped out of school but insisted her younger siblings went to school.
   There came a time a lot of men were after her, some for pleasure and some for marriage. Her younger ones just got to the university and she's the only sponsor they've got. If she got married will her husband be able to bear with her on how she closely tends to her younger ones? That was the reason she didn't marry that doctor then, she wanted to stay single to properly look after her siblings. She's practically married to their well being than her own matrimony. Mind you all these while the clock keeps ticking....time left her behind but not alone, he left her with his best friend "AGE"!  She has now aged that a lot of men feel threatened by her experience. They feel threatened by her strength. They feel threatened by the love between her and her siblings. They feel threatened by the genuine love that holds blood which makes it thicker than water.
   Is it her fault that men have grown so weak that they now judge matrimony by age of a woman? By the strength, courage and die hard spirit a woman could posses? Tell the men to wake up instead. A woman who has single handedly seen her younger ones to success how much about what she would for her own kids? The man she calls her crown, her husband?.....
   I have an army of sisters who will stop at nothing to see that I achieve success in life..
