I can't begin to imagine living in the grief you must have felt in your loss, <br />I was summing up a life long struggle to return to those days when I knew that sweet girl. In the sweet days with family friends who adopted orphans, and then ironically I felt like one for years. It is complicated. <br />I wish for good sisters to share with, and I have a feeling you would be one.<br />Or rather are in a way, becoming.<br />Looking forward to reading more and getting to know you here in the blog world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15924061349390319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-56508873064358922382009-08-18T17:03:24.804-06:002009-08-18T17:03:24.804-06:00I was thinking more about your post when I woke up...I was thinking more about your post when I woke up this morning. It reminds me of a quote about sisterhood from Marjorie Pay Hinckley that I enjoy. I'm sure you've read or heard it before: <br /><br />"We are all in this together. We need each other. Oh, how we need each other. Those of us who are old need you who are young, and hopefully, you who are young need some of us who are old...We need deep and satisfying and loyal friendships with each other. These friendships are a necessary source of sustenance."<br /><br />I was thinking too about what I have read about the giant redwood trees - that they are able to grow tall and sturdy because below the surface their root systems spread out and entwine - they support each other.<br /><br />Your blog is like a part of that root system, isn't it?<br />xoSandy M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09463236853839331077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-25533567109594376182009-08-18T07:36:04.511-06:002009-08-18T07:36:04.511-06:00I prefer Sisterbabes, but I wasn't the author ...I prefer Sisterbabes, but I wasn't the author now, was I?<br /><br />It is such a primal thing, the way we need other women.

Yes, probably, but in His way (through someone else-- isn't that His usual way?)<br /><br />How bizarre to find yourself reading about... yourself!<br /><br />I'd LOVE to hear all of your sisterchick stories. Every. last. one of them. I would love being a mute third wheel as I read your book.<br /><br />And then, with the hefty royalties you make off the book, let's gather a group of sisterchicks and go away for a week. (Do you love that I'm already spending your money for you? Yes?)<br /><br />Women need each other. We really do. And YOU have always been there when I needed you. (Which is, like, on a daily basis...)<br /><br />(By the way, thank you for an honest review. I like that you told the best parts and the parts that didn't work so well for you too.)Brillighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694582598855276158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-823847273927280303.post-35490599467343739522009-08-17T12:07:28.350-06:002009-08-17T12:07:28.350-06:00I think the reason we wince a bit at "sisterc...I think the reason we wince a bit at "sisterchick" is because the "chick" is so very unnecessary. We are sisters.
