Dia do Amigo

Hoje, 20/07, é comemorado o Dia do Amigo aqui na Argentina.
É um dia tão importante quanto Dia dos Namorados pra gente do Brasil.
Você não consegue jantar em restaurantes se não reservar, eles se dão presentes e as linhas telefônicas ficam super ocupadas durante o dia todo.
Eu adorei a idéia de comemorar o Dia do Amigo e, para isso, vou homenagear as amigas no Blog de hoje.
Esse poema é lindo e eu recebi ele de uma grande amiga de infância que hoje mora em NY, mas está presente todos os dias na mente e no coração.
Obrigada a todas as mulheres maravilhosas que fazem parte de minha vida e certamente, estariam lá quando eu precisasse delas.

THIS SAYS IT ALL:

Time passes
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't do what they're supposed to do .
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT.........

Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you. A girl friend 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, the women in your life 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.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters, daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers, Grandmothers, aunti es, nieces, cousins, and extended family, all bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without women, and neither would I. When we began this adventure called womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we would need each other.

Every day, we need each other still.


Amanhã eu publico minha receita para o dia do amigo!
