This was just emailed to me.....thought I would pass it on.

Time 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..........

Girlfriends are there, no matter how much time
and how many miles are between you

A girlfriend 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
girlfriends 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.

Daughters, Daughter-in- laws, sisters,
sisters-in-law, mother,
mother-in-law, aunties, nieces, cousins, extended
family, and friends
bless our 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.

Pass this on to the women who help make your life
work.

Thats a good one.

You know what I was thinking about? A woman says 'this is my girlfriend' but you would never catch a guy saying 'this is my boyfriend'. I wonder why.

I just got that email!....well kinda, its kinda different, I liked the story at the beginning of the one you posted....just thought I would add mine on!


A young woman sat on a sofa on a hot humid day,

drinking iced tea and

visiting with her Mother. As they talked about

life, about partnerships,

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 partner,

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."



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:



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 mother,

sister, sister-in-laws, and "girlfriends", 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. Pass

this on to the women

who help make your life work.
