<P><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 18pt; COLOR: rgb(248,177,113)">A
young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid
day,<BR>drinking iced tea and visiting with her
mother. As<BR><BR>they talked about life, about
marriage, about the<BR><BR>responsibilities of
life and the obligations of<BR><BR>adulthood,
the mother clinked the ice cubes in
her<BR><BR>glass thoughtfully and turned a
clear, sober glance<BR><BR>upon her
daughter.<BR><BR>'Don't forget your sisters,'
she advised, swirling<BR><BR>the tea leaves to
the bottom of her glass. 'They'll<BR><BR>be more
important as you get older. No matter
how<BR><BR>much you love your husband, no matter
how much you<BR><BR>love the children you may
have, you are still going<BR><BR>to need
sisters. Remember to go places with them
now<BR><BR>and then; do things with
them.'<BR><BR>'Remember that 'sisters' means ALL
the women.<BR><BR>your girlfriends, your
daughters, and all your other<BR><BR>women
relatives too. 'You'll need other women.
Women<BR><BR>always do.'<BR><BR>What a funny
piece of advice!' the young
woman<BR><BR>thought. Haven't I just gotten
married?<BR><BR>Haven't I just joined the
couple-world? I'm now a<BR><BR>married woman,
for goodness sake! A grownup! Surely<BR><BR>my
husband and the family we may start will be all
I<BR><BR>need to make my life
worthwhile!'<BR><BR>But she listened to her
mother. She kept contact<BR><BR>with her sisters
and made more women friends each<BR><BR>year. As
the years tumbled by, one after
another,<BR><BR>she gradually came to understand
that her mother really<BR><BR>knew what she was
talking about. As time and nature<BR><BR>work
their changes and their mysteries upon a
woman,<BR><BR>sisters are the mainstays of her
life.<BR><BR>After more than 50 years of living
in this world,<BR><BR>here is what I've
learned:<BR><BR>THIS SAYS IT ALL:<BR><BR>Time
passes.<BR><BR>Life happens.<BR><BR>Distance
separates.<BR><BR>Children grow up.<BR><BR>Jobs
come and go.<BR><BR>Love waxes and
wanes.<BR><BR>Men don't do what they're supposed
to do.<BR><BR>Hearts break.<BR><BR>Parents
die.<BR><BR>Colleagues forget
favors.<BR><BR>Careers
end.<BR><BR>BUT.........<BR><BR>Sisters are
there, no matter how much time and
how<BR><BR>many miles are<BR><BR>between you. A
girl friend is never farther away<BR><BR>than
needing her can reach.<BR><BR>When you have to
walk that lonesome valley and you<BR><BR>have to
walk it by yourself, the women in your
life<BR><BR>will be on the valley's rim,
cheering you on,<BR><BR>praying for you, pulling
for you, intervening on<BR><BR>your behalf, and
waiting with open arms at the<BR><BR>valley's
end.<BR><BR>Sometimes, they will even break the
rules and walk<BR><BR>beside you....Or come in
and carry you out.<BR><BR>Girlfriends,
daughters,
granddaughters,<BR><BR>daughters-in-law,
sisters, sisters-in-law,
Mothers,<BR><BR>Grandmothers, aunties, nieces,
cousins, and extended<BR><BR>family: all bless
our life!<BR><BR>The world wouldn't be the same
without women, and<BR><BR>neither would I. When
we began this adventure called<BR><BR>womanhood,
we had no idea of the incredible joys
or<BR><BR>sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we
know how much we<BR><BR>would need each
other.<BR><BR></SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></TD></TR>
