The Women

Last night there was a party at my house. It was women. Women came and visited and laughed. I loved looking around at my friends and noticed it was a room full of my life.
The woman that was at my birth, she was my very life.
The woman that went to more school, growth spurts, bad hair experiences than any other in the room, she was my childhood.
The woman who lived with me when I set out "on my own" to meet the world. She was my adventure.
The woman who grew up with my beloved husband. She is my family.
The woman who forced her way into my life with service and love during my own times of trial. She was my lighthouse.
The woman who knew I was more than I could believe at the time. She is my strength.
The woman who forces me to question everything until I understand and believe. She helped me grow my testimony.
These women, and more, were at my house and are my life. They each in her way make me want to be better so that I can be a better friend back. They deserve the best from me because they brought their best for me when they entered my life.

May you be fortunate enough to have the girlfriends (or ones like them) in your life.
