The voice in my study..!

Tuesday, February 15, 2011 - Was just having a look at some of the family photos taken during Christmas, and found that quite a few of the snaps, had my wife and her sister together, which made me realize how close they were over the many years: Both the sisters have kept contact with each other and ever so often I’m startled to hear my sister- in- law’s voice coming out of our study and realize that it’s her voice all the way from New Zealand, coming across through Skype:

Sisters could be the mainstays of your life and after many years of seeing them together here is what I’ve seen and observed: Time passes. Life happens. Distance separates. Children grow up. Jobs come and go. Love waxes and wanes. Men don’t always do what they’re supposed to do. Hearts break. Parents fall sick. Colleagues make trouble. Careers start floundering. BUT.........

Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between. A sister is never farther away than needing her can reach. When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you have to walk it by yourself, that sibling 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. The world wouldn’t be the same without sisters. When you began this adventure called life you may have no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lie ahead. Nor did you know how much you need each other till you find she’s there by your side..!

I smile as I hear her voice in my study and know that together they’ve handled a lot of each other’s cares and worries..!
