Sisters...dedicated to my real sister Larissa, my roommate Jennifer, and my other sistah's Tia, JG, GG, JMiss (mama), Spice:


A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking
iced tea and visiting with her Mother. As they talked about
life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life
and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the
ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear,
sober glance upon her daughter


"Don't forget your Sisters," she advised, swirling the tea
leaves to the bottom of her glass. "They'll be more
important as you get older. No matter how much you love
your husband, no matter how much you love the children you
may have, you are still going to need Sisters. Remember to
go places with them now and then; do things
with them.

"Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women... your
girlfriends, your daughters, and all your other women
relatives too.

"You'll need other women. Women
always do."

'What a funny piece of advice!' the young woman thought.
Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the
couple-world? I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake! A
grownup! Surely my husband and the family we may start will
be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'

But she listened to her Mother. She kept contact with her
Sisters and made more women friends each year. As the years
tumbled by, one after
another, she gradually came
to understand that her Mom really knew what she was talking
about. As time and nature work their changes and their
mysteries upon a woman, Sisters are the mainstays of her
life.

After more than 40 years of living in this world, here is
what I've learned:
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, 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, daughters-in-law,
sisters, sisters-in law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunties,
nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our lives.

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.

Pass this on to all the women who help make your life
meaningful. I just did. Love Ya
