Hey Ladies.. I got this off of an e-mail, but I thought I would share it with you. Some of you may have already read it, but I think it's beautiful. Although I have only been here a little while, you have all helped me so much more that you realize! This board is a great support system for people going through such a tough time... Hugs to you all!!!

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 girl friend is never farther away than needing her can reach. 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! The world wouldn't be the same without women, 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. Happy days!

That's exactly how I feel about you girls on here!!! You're there no matter what! And I love you all for that!!

Thanks for sharing this, and putting into words exactly how I think most of us feel.
