For the ASD ladies... |
i usually don't even read this kinda stuff that friend's send me, but,
i read this one and i liked it and wanted to post it here, for all the
ladies...including lady lurkers.
To my "Sisters"...Friends for Life...
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 50?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,praying foryou, 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 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. Pass this on to all the women who help
make your life meaningful.
