To all the "Wise Women" that have crossed my path

In a life filled with hardship, I have been blessed by the presence of a few amazing women. They are women of grace, of God, of hope, of strength. Women that prove tears have never been a sign of weakness. Women who have spun their disasters, dysfunctions, and sufferings into a cloth of healing.. They have been women that cared and helped while always allowing me to grow and change at my own pace. Not one of these women meets the idealized standard of perfection. Not one is without flaw. Each, however, is made that much more fabulous by their scars.. They are real. They are true. They are inspiration They amaze me.
