Words sent to me from a special friend:

Jackie,
I have only looked at this magical piece of art work for a few moments. I know that I am going to want to really spend some time looking, smiling, and crying at some of the pages you have created. OH MY GOSH!! I just went to my grand daughter's kindergarten program and it was darling, but I have had to listen to my son moan and groan the entire year about situations. I smile and keep the positive attitude that I should. I should have been thinking about having her in your class and I didn't even THINK!!!!! You are truly amazing!! Your parents and students should certainly feel connected and loved. You are an amazing woman and educator Jackie. I love what you have done!!!! Thank you, thank you for sharing!!

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 girlfriend is never farther away than needing her.
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.

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.
