True Girl Power

Maribeth is headed for Baltimore to finish some ex-boyfriend business. It's been a tough week, and she knows it's time for closure. Lynnette agreed to go along for moral support. While they're in Baltimore, my niece Lucy will entertain them and provide Maribeth with any extra support while my sister Marilyn will be on call if needed.

It's one of the great blessings of life, to have a supportive family. A family that will come to your side if you need them, whether it's to support you in the sad times, help you find airplane flights in the fun times, and just to be there in all the times in between. An added blessing is to have women in your family that have your back, no matter what. They'll be there for whatever you need without question. They'll be there because you're family, and nobody is going to break that bond that family creates.

Sometimes it's your girlfriends who become your sisters and family. Although you may not share DNA, you're bound by that same love. You know you can call them and they will run to your side.

Sisters, cousins, nieces, girlfriends. A strength and support like none other, and a great gift if you're lucky enough to experience it.

"When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder,
who stands a chance against us?"
- Pam Brown -

"The mildest, drowsiest sister has been known to turn tiger if her sibling is in trouble."
- Clara Ortega -

"Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break.
Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot.
But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers."
- Pam Brown -
