Extended family

Aside from Radu, my younger brother, I have some sisters too. 

We met for the first time in 2003, all wanting to learn how to dance on oriental music. The first time we were all together, we sat in a circle and each talked about her reasons to join the dance club. None of us expected years after to stick together like family and to have dance as a link stronger than blood sometimes is. Marriages, PhDs, babies, new jobs, moving continents...we are there for each other when it comes to practically anything happening in our lives, through the bad and the good times.

It works like this: I send an e-mail to all asking anything from trivial to more life changing questions. In a matter of hours, a day at most, there are at least two replies. We never discussed this, we don't have rules, we did not even take some oath to be there for the others, we just are. I can't but feel humble when realizing how wonderful it is to have them as a part of my life; had they not been around, many mountains would have been harder to climb.

This is for them.
