"Beside a well one does not thirst. Beside a sister one does not despair" 

-Nüshu Proverb

Originally a designed as just an Instagram post, so many people were requesting this be available as a card that we just had to make it into one! 

In the process of illustrating this quote, I learned that Nüshu was a language invented by women hundreds, possibly thousands of years ago in China. The women were oppressed, and Nüshu gave them a way to write letters to each other, to lament, and to form very close female friendships. 

When I was in the ICU, Grace was there everyday. She was the first person who was able to understand me as I finger spelled words into her hand. 
We read poetry, talked philosophy, did art, opened letters and had dance parties together. When my world seemed quite dark, she was light incarnate for me. 

I hope you have sisters in your life like that, whether by genetics or love. Sisters can provide us so much hope. I hope you send this to a sister who has been there for you.
