Subject: HAVE A NICE DAY!
A young wife sat on a
sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and
visiting with her Mother. As they talked about life, about
marriage,
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 girlfriends," 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 husband, no matter how much you
love
the
children you'll have, you are still going to need
girlfriends.
Remember to
go places with them now and then; do things with them. And
remember
that
"girlfriends" are not only your friends, but your sisters,
your
daughters,
and other relatives too. You'll need other women. Women
always do."
'What a funny piece of advice,' the young woman thought.
'Haven't I
just
gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm
now a
married
woman, for goodness sake! -- a grownup, Surely my husband and
the
family
we'll start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'
But she
listened to her Mother; she kept contact with her girlfriends
and
made more
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,
girlfriends
are the mainstays of her life. After almost 50 years of
living in
this
world, here is what I've learned:
Times passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Men don't call when they say they will.
Children grow up-and leave you.
Love waxes and wanes.
Hearts break.
Self-absorption refuses to see the truth.
Careers end.
Jobs come and go.
Children forget to call.
Parents die.
Girlfriends understand.
Colleagues forget favors.
BUT, no matter how much time and how many miles are between
you,
girlfriends are there.
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. My
mother,
sister, sister-in-law, "sisters," extended family, and
friends 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.
I just did.
