Sisters

Time
                                Passes...
Life  happens...
Distance  separates...

Children grow
                                up...


Jobs
                                come and go.   Love waxes and
                                wanes.  
Men don't do what
                                they're supposed to do...

Hearts
                                break.   Parents die.  Colleagues
                                forget favors.  Careers end...

BUT...Sisters are
                                there, no matter how much time and how many
                                miles are between you.  A girl friend
                                is  never farther away than needing her
                                can  reach...

When  you have to
                                walk that lonesome valley and you have  to
                                walk it by yourself, the women in your
                                life  will be on the valley's rim, cheering
                                you on,  praying for you, pulling for you,
                                intervening on  your behalf,
and
                                waiting with  open arms at the
                                valley's  end...

Sometimes,  they
                                will even break the rules and walk beside
                                you...or come in and carry you out. 
                                Girlfriends, daughters,  granddaughters...

Daughter-in-laws,
                                sisters, sisters-in-law, mothers,
                                grandmothers,  aunts, nieces, cousins, and
                                extended family, all  bless our life!

The world  wouldn't be the same without women, and neither  would I.   When we began this  adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of  the incredible joys or sorrows that lay  ahead.   Nor did we know how much we  would need each other.  Every day, we need  each other still.
