It's All About Girls
Why we need girlfriends even when we are married:
- Girlfriends bring casseroles and scrub your bathroom when you are sick.
- Girlfriends keep your children and keep your secrets.
- Girlfriends give advice when you ask for it. Sometimes you take it sometimes you don't.
- Girlfriends don't always tell you that you're right, but they're usually honest.
- Girlfriends still love you, even when they don't agree with your choices.
- Girlfriends might send you a birthday card, but they might not - It does not matter in the least.
- Girlfriends laugh with you, and you don't need canned jokes to start the laughter.
- Girlfriends pull you out of jams.
- Girlfriends don't keep a calendar that lets them know who hosted the other last.
- Girlfriends will give a party for your son or daughter when they get married or have a baby, in whichever order that comes!
- And girlfriends are there for you, in an instant and truly, when the hard times come.
- Girlfriends listen when you lose a job or a husband.
- Girlfriends listen when your children break your heart.
- Girlfriends listen when your parents' minds and bodies fail.
I'm all but a barely-legal adult. Marriage is far away and perhaps will never be within sight. But I agree with the wisdom of the author, girlfriends are precious. We will never know when or how much we need each other. My girlfriends have been my joy and pride, always close to my heart. I can't imagine growing up without the bunch of giggly, crazy gurls.
Love ya, gals!
Love ya, gals!

hello provacanik,
Welcome to the girls' club. =) Marriage is so efferverscent. We're so intimate with our bedfellow that we forget we're two different entities, with a need for personal space. Even with marriage, we need our girlfriends to stand by us. You never know when you'll need a hug at 12am. A pity a common sacrifice with marriage is a shrinking social circle. I see my mum trapped in the vicious cycle. And I'm sure she's not the only mum in there.
I read from your blog (Yes, we do read what ur heart says!)that you're going thru some rough patch in life. I hope you'll find strength in the knowing that you do not walk alone. Women from round the world are standing beside you. Can you feel our warmth next to your cheeks?
