Girlfriends are sisters that destiny forgot to give you.
Oh, I'm not so sure that destiny forgets much.
So it has to be purposeful.
March came in like both a lion and a lamb,
with an aborted visit to my favorite Tampa women friends.
We share a certain understanding, a kinship, these women and I,
and it makes being in each other's company a particular joy.
This year I didn't think I could manage a trip,
given school and other responsibilities.
But I missed my sister-friends way too much
and needed a dose of their love and company.
American Airlines didn't cooperate.

In February, one of my favorite sister-friends was away two weeks
Since I talked to her daily and saw her at least a few times each week
her vacation left a definite void.
I've not been lucky in the sister department,
but I have definitely been VERY lucky when it comes to sister-friends.
And that,
I believe,
is no accident.

You are so very right. I do not have any sisters but destiny has given me good friend late in life. I am very fortunate.

I know what you mean. I have no blood sisters, but 3 sisters who live all over the country. I loved this post because I live it. Thanks..so much.
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate that I do have sister whom I love and have close relationships with. My daughter is an only child so I worried about her having no sisters, but she is very close to her cousins and friends. Bottom line - we get to define "family" as works for us. I am glad you have your sister-friends!
