Time passes
Life happens
Distance separates
Children grow up
Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're suppose 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, sister-in-laws;
mothers, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, cousins,
and extended family
all bless our life!
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.
