Mujer

From the moment I found out I was pregnant, it seemed the women in my life, flocked to my side with unwavering support. Each of them gave me a little something I needed. 

Within a heartbeat, Kristie came over my house when I was in tears to help me talk through it. 

Anita, Nicolette and Kelly always approached me with excitement in their voices. 

Even though my mom was a tough cookie, I am finding her much lived experience, more helpful than she could imagine. 

My Grandma-ma's advice on what happens and what not to stress over has been a blessing. 

My Nina has more knowledge of my situation than I will ever have. It's nice to have someone who loves you enough to always 'have your back'. 

Even though my sister Michelle may not have all the answers, she always seems to get me in contact with the people that do :o) Plus, her advice on communication and boundaries keeps me grounded. 

In all honesty, there are two women in my life I would have fallen apart without. 

My aunt Rhonda. The idea that I can ask her anything... anything... and never be afraid of bashfulness or judgement from her. She has so much to offer me, that I literally use a note pad during our phone conversations. 

Of course, my sister Sarrah. I don't even know what to say... except that if I'm not doing this with a husband, at least I have my best friend by my side. She knows when to hug me, make me laugh, put things in perspective or just sympathize with what I am feeling. I am so thankful God has put her into my life. (According to the picture, the bonding started young :o)
