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. And remember that "Sisters" also means your girlfriends, your daughters, and 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 grown up. 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 almost 50 years of living in this world, here is what she's learned:
Times passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Love waxes and wanes.
Hearts break.
Careers end.
Jobs come and go.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Men don't call when they say they will.
BUT, Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A Sister is never farther away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it for yourself, your Sisters 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.
My girlfriends sisters bless my life! The world wouldn't be the same without them, 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.
with love to my sisters, nani

*smiling and crying at the same time*--talk about being on the same page. There is nothing I can add to that. You read my thoughts. Even if the guys flame us on this one, I don't mind saying that it is a true privilege to have you Sisters in my life. What a wonder it is that we came across each other!
love to you all.  Patti

Oh Nani, how true. I am an only child so I have had to create my own sisterhood and they mean the world to me. The sisters I have found here, even though We have never met are an important part of my worls now.
Thanks for the reminder.

It is obvious, YOU need the fachion training! In bondage fashion etiquette, SPIKES AND CUFFS are a must, regardless of material, as long as both are black.

Why didn't you ask ME that question?
But, I will be kind to you (why, I don't know, but I will, this ONE time) and answer your question.
No, I have NO question of my masculinity, or lack of it.
