Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow. ~Benjamin DisraeliWhile I don't see them that often, my sisters bring so much joy and wisdom to my life - to our whole family. Meg, the youngest, is all wisdom and grace. She is compassionate, steadfast, generous and kind, an even more impassioned peacemaker than I. Sarah, the youngest in spirit, is faithful, faith-filled and true, sure to bring a laugh with her ebullient humor and unembarrassed bearing of style. I am grateful to each of my sisters for her enduring love and constant friendship, no matter how much time or trouble passes between us.
For as much gratitude as I feel for my sisters tonight, my heart mourns all the more for two of my friends who who lost a sister this past week and for their families with the grief they must now endure. How much more bitter then is their loss without the comfort of their sisters in this season of sorrow?
