I'm on good terms with my sister, and consider her an important part of my life. My life would be simpler and less stressful without my brother though. Mom brought me into the world, so that's pretty much the bottom line with her, although she causes me a lot of grief with her meddling and favouritism to my dead beat brother. Dad's dead.
I talk to my sister a couple times a month, mom about the same. I talk to my brother about once or twice a year.
So are they important? Yeah, but so are pickles and pecan pie.
