Transcending: Words on Women and Strength by Kelly Corrigan

Author Kelly Corrigan wrote this moving essay about women's remarkable capacity to suport each other, to laugh together, and to endure. The full text is available in the paperback edition of her memoir, The Middle Place, on sale December 23, 2008.

Although it's about a 'family' of women I think the same thing applies to the FG 'family'. :-4 Listen with tissues to hand. :-6

Thanks but its not about being friends with just men or just women, it's about being there for your family of friends, supporting each other through the good times and the bad and having a richer life because you're there for each other. :-6
