Girlfriends
Time passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Jobs come and go.
Love waxes and wanes.
Men don't call when they say they will.
Hearts break.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.
Careers end.
BUT...........
Girlfriends are there, no matter how much
time and how many miles are between you.
A girlfriend 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, 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.
Girlfriends, daughters, daughter-in-laws,
sisters, sisters-in-law, mother,
mother-in-law, aunties, nieces, cousins,
and extended family, bless our life!
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.
