A sister is the cure for swollen heads and ego trips. One may a star, a Chief Executive-famous and rich and beautiful. But one's sister has the family photo album. And a long, long memory. And a tendency to wink at one on Top Occasions.

The work of a garden bears visible fruits-in a world where most of our labours seem suspiciously meaningless.

The trouble with sharing one's bed with cats is that they'd rather sleep on you than beside you.
Pam Brown

A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.

When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?

Becoming a grandmother is wonderful. One moment you're just a mother. The next you are all-wise and prehistoric.

Sisters share the scent and smells... the feel of a common childhood.
Pam Brown
Image
We shared. Parents. Home. Pets. Celebrations. Catastrophes. Secrets. And the threads of our experience became so interwoven that we are linked. I can never be utterly lonely, knowing you share the planet.
Pam Brown

Sisters never quite forgive each other for what happened when they were five.
Pam Brown

Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, singers of songs.

The first step to wisdom is to be sure one says and does what one believes.

Integrity rings like fine glass. True, clear, and reassuring.

Medicines may be necessary. Flowers lift the heart. But your smile is the best restorative of all.

A cat likes to hear you calling him. He sits in a bush a yard from your shoes - and listens.

The baby rises to its feet, takes a step, is overcome with triumph and joy - and falls flat on its face. It is a pattern for all that is to come! But learn from the bewildered baby. Lurch to your feet again. You'll make the sofa in the end.
