Women

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 girlfriend is never farther away than needing her.


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.

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.
I just did.

There are more than 20 angels in this world;
10 are peacefully sleeping on clouds, nine are playing, and one is reading her email at this moment!

Send this message to 10 of your friends, including me.

If you get 5 replies,
someone you love will surprise you.


The above message just landed in my inbox forwarded to me by my online friend, Cleo. It is obviously a "chain e-mail" and I am not even sure if I titled it right. Actually the subject in the e-mail was "Time Passes" and I don't know if it's also the title.

To the original author, thank you for the wonderful my message but my apologies for failing to give due credit to whom it is due because I am not aware of your details.

I chose not to forward it to anybody else and opted to post it here to share it to more women online.
