SISTERS....

Been thinking about sisters(i.e. best friends). So many things shared. So much laughter!! Sticking by each other no matter what. Unconditional everything. In the darkness hour...a phone call, laughter, things aren't so bad after all. I had a funny mental image a while ago. In the last thirty-odd years, since we have become best friends, my sisters have been a phone call away. My mental image was of me in various postions talking on the phone with them when I was a) crying the blues or b)laughing so hard I had to sit down or pee my pants. So, these are some of the times I saw in my mind's eye when I was on the phone with my sisters.
1. Sitting on the kitchen floor leaning against the fridge
2. In bed "under" the covers
3. Laying across the bed "over" the covers
4. Driving down the road with the house phone because I forgot I was on it
5. Talking on the phone crying and eating doughnuts
6. Laying on the floor
7. Opening a package she sent me
8. Quickly sitting down after hearing "You aren't going to believe this..."
9. Smiling when I heard..."Where were you today when I had my crisis??!!
10.Wiping a big tear when I heard..."I miss you. If you were here we'd go to the
Tea House."

I'm so sad for women who aren't close to their sisters. I've been given such a gift by having not one, but two sisters.
