For All Sisters

How differently people’s fates unfold! Sometimes at fifty a husband looks at his wife with the same reverence as when he was twenty; and sometimes a man lives in two houses, sincerely believing that he is making both women happy. For some, it really is a strong family; for others, they maintain the appearance for the sake of children—or out of fear of loneliness. Many can be satisfied with what they have and enjoy every day. But what if you expect more from life and suffer because your hopes don’t come true? Maria Metlitskaya is convinced: women’s wisdom lies in the ability to understand, to forgive, and to accept. After all, no one knows how much joy and sorrow has been allotted to each. To every sister—in her own way.
