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. She can be a blood relative or a sister through marriage or someone who has become like a sister over time.

The women in your life are there to laugh with you, and cry with you, to cheer when you rise and soften the blow when you fall; loving without judgment or envy or blame.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley 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’ll even break the rules and walk beside you or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, mothers, aunts, nieces, grandmothers; they all bless our life and as the years go by, that bond means even more. It becomes more precious each day. You can’t turn back the clock, but you can rewind it with help from the sisters in your life.

Don’t take them for granted. Cherish them. Tell them how much you feel about them and how they make you feel. Don’t let another week go by without sharing with them how much you love them and appreciate them.

    Thanks, Elizabeth. That’s my sister with me in the photo. She was behind the surprise birthday extravaganza for me in October that was such a delight. An incredible event where some 90 people who knew about it actually KEPT THE SECRET! I will always remember the event with love and respect. Only a sister who loves you could have gone to all that trouble. Karyn is really special. So glad that my words were the impetus for you to hug your sister. Do it often, with great enthusiasm. I do.

    Wow, this is so beautiful, Annette — especially knowing how much you have been to so many women, including me. I’m fortunate to have a blood sister who has been this for me too. I’m going to give her a hug right now.
