| We need each other still A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and visiting with her Mother. Asthey talked about life, about marriage, about theresponsibilities of life and the obligations ofadulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in herglass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glanceupon her daughter.
'Don't forget your Sisters,' she advised, swirlingthe tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. 'They'llbe more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much youlove the children you may have, you are still goingto need Sisters. Remember to go places with them nowand then; do things with them.'
'Remember that 'Sisters' means ALL the women...
your girlfriends, your daughters, and all your otherwomen relatives too. 'You'll need other women. Women always do.'What a funny piece of advice!' the young womanthought. Haven't I just gotten married?
Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now amarried woman, for goodness sake! A grownup! Surelymy husband and the family we may start will be all Ineed to make my life worthwhile!'
But she listened to her Mother. She kept contactwith her Sisters and made more women friends eachyear. As the years tumbled by, one after another,she gradually came to understand that her Mom reallyknew what she was talking about. As time and naturework their changes and their mysteries upon a woman,Sisters are the mainstays of her life.
After more than 50 years of living in this world,here is what I've learned:
THIS SAYS IT ALL:
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 favours.
Careers end.
BUT.........
Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how
many miles arebetween you. A girl friend is never farther awaythan needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and youhave to walk it by yourself, the women in your lifewill be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,praying for you, pulling for you, intervening onyour behalf, and waiting with open arms at thevalley's end.
Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walkbeside you...Or come in and carry you out.
Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,
daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extendedfamily, all bless our life!
The world wouldn't be the same without women, andneither would I. When we began this adventure calledwomanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys orsorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much wewould need each other.
Every day, we need each other still. | |
