A Teddy Bear Does Not Depend Upon

A Friendship Can Weather Most Things And Thrive In Thin Soil; But It Needs A Little Mulch Of Letters And Phone Calls And Small, Silly Presents Every So Often - Just To Save It From Drying Out Completely.

Medicines May Be Necessary. Flowers Lift The Heart. But Your Smile Is The Best Restorative Of All.

An Older Sister Is A Friend And Defender - A Listener, Conspirator, A Counsellor And A Sharer Of Delights. And Sorrows Too.

Sisters Annoy, Interfere, Criticize. Indulge In Monumental Sulks, In Huffs, In Snide Remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize The Bathroom. Are Always Underfoot. But If Catastrophe Should Strike, Sisters Are There. Defending You Against All Comers.

When Sisters Stand Shoulder To Shoulder, Who Stands A Chance Against Us?
