This says it All
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Love waxes and wanes.
Hearts break.
Careers end.
Jobs come and go.
Colleagues forget favours.
Men don't call when they say they will.
BUT..........
Women are there,
no matter how much time
and how many miles are between you.
A woman is never farther
away than needing her can reach.
When you have to walk that lonesome
valley and you have to walk it for yourself,
your girlfriends 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.
The world wouldn't be the same without them, 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.
Every day, we need each other still.
So have a cup of tea with me
& pass this on to the women and men who help make your life work.
