We are stronger than we think.
We are resilient at times.
We can carry burdens that would bring most people to their knees.
Yet, we are as gentle as a cloud on a sunlit day.
We are as dangerous as Mother Nature's disasters if someone threatens those we love.
Yet, we can turn and walk away when someone threatens us.
Don't mistake our kindness for weakness.
Just ask those who have made that mistake.
We are not just women.
Our strength comes from the love of friends who are always there for us.
It comes from the love of our families.
We are sisters through it all.
