Womanhood

After more than 85 years of living in this world,

 here is what I've learned:

 THIS SAYS IT ALL: 

 Time passes. 

Life happens.

Distance separates. 

Children grow up.

Jobs come and go.

Love waxes and wanes.

 Men don't do what they're supposed to do.

Hearts break. 

Parents die.

Colleagues forget favors.

Careers end.

BUT......... 

Sisters are there, no matter how much time and how

many miles are between you.

A girl friend is never farther away 

than needing her can reach.

When you have to walk that lonesome valley and you

have to walk it by yourself, the women in your life

will be on the valley's rim, cheering you on,

praying for you, pulling for you, intervening on

your behalf, and waiting with open arms at the

valley's end.

Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk

beside you....Or come in and carry you out.

Girlfriends, daughters, granddaughters,

daughters-in-law, sisters, sisters-in-law, Mothers,

Grandmothers, aunties, nieces, cousins, and extended

family: all bless our life!

The world wouldn't be the same without women, and

neither would I.. When we began this adventure called

womanhood, we had no idea of the incredible joys or

sorrows that lay ahead. Nor did we know how much we

would need each other.
