Vince Eckelkamp, of Colorado, said Tuesday that he was scheduled to fly from Maui to Denver Tuesday of last week after a six-day vacation with his wife and daughter.  Around 4 a.m., the power in his hotel went out because of gusty winds that downed power lines.

The prototypical sibling relationship has two distinct phases. First, the kids’ connection is embedded within the family system and shaped by their parents. Then they start becoming independent, eventually leaving home and building their own lives. In these later years, the sibling bond is an intriguing mix of involuntary (nobody chooses their siblings) and voluntary (drifting apart from a sibling is generally considered less concerning than divorce or estrangement from a parent).
