Sisters

I always wanted a sister, more so now than in my younger years.  I think what great conversations we could have about our family, how much fun it would be to raise children together, someone who could listen, celebrate and stay up all night talking.

Then I had 3 girls!  How lucky are my 3 girls to have each other, grow old together and be best friends - well ok maybe that will come later!  And I have heard rumblings that they wonder what it would be like to have a brother - I've tried to tell them but....more later on that one.

Then I was looking through pictures and came across this one - and you know what?  I HAVE SISTERS!  These women and I have become so close that when we are together we can just be.  I have know them for most of my adult life - cough cough 30 years now. We all live in different places but will be there for each other at the drop of a hat if needed.  We have been through dating, marriages, babies, divorces, death of parents, moves, raising children, illnesses, not having children, careers, travels, etc....  We have committed to seeing each other 4 times a year for a "book club".  There is always a book mentioned but truth be told we just enjoy being together book or no book.

Lesson - thankfully sisters don't have to be related - how lucky I am!
