I end up writing a good bit. A lot of my writing is intended for friends, though I write science, and sell some magazine articles. I write this blog, because I want to remember things, and if you read it, maybe you can help me remember things.
Because I write to friends a lot, I use a lot of little words that carry Big Meaning for me. Here's what I mean:
If you are a Christian male, I may well call you "brother" which is intended as 1) a term of endearment, and 2) a recognition of our brotherhood in Christ. Same for "sister".
In some cases, I may say, "my sister". The possessive isn't really necessary, BUT, somehow it makes it even a bit more personal - at least from my perspective.
In all honesty, I have no idea if those who read my words feel any of the emotion I feel in writing. And, that is the nature of this medium. As I have shared before, I have no idea who reads, and what anyone thinks about anything.
With that thought in mind, let me say, thanks for journeying along with me, my sister, my brother.
Feel anything?

Well said.
