Good fortune

June 13, 2017

Sisters were never meant to be rivals. Surely, they are different…each cut from a uniquely colored cloth. Their eyes tell the story of how fortunate it is to have a sister to hold on to. Maybe you should call your sister today. It’s free and only takes a few minutes at most.

Friends
