Wow long question! I think I have a different answer. DG has meant so much to me over the years and as time goes on it seems to mean more and more. It was best friends in college and now its my support group overseas. There have been times when it was rough but the times always get better. I never thought I would be as glad to be a DG as when I moved overseas. It made that move so much easier! I can only imagine what it will mean to me as time goes on. I have learned how to plan, network, and get to know people through DG. You never know where you'll find a sister but what joy when you do!
