To all my dear sisters

 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 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,

 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.
