Look for the ones who remain.
When your story gets messy.
When your parents get sick.
When your family adds more babies.
Because the truth is, not everyone will stay.
When your truth makes people uncomfortable.
When you enter a season of healing.
When your family requires all of you.
The friends who stay by your side—over miles and quarantines and life interruptions—are the rarest of all treasures.
They will remind you of your worth.
They will remind you of your purpose.
And, most importantly, they will remind you to laugh.
RELATED: Life is Too Short For Fake Cheese and Fake Friends
Because life is too precious and short to walk alone.
So God gives us sisters more precious than gold.
And savor every single moment you share.
