Day 16 Girlfriends



Me and Nichelle



Me with my Bestie Stephanie in Vegas

I have some really good girlfriends.  I mean I really have GREAT girlfriends.  I am so blessed!  Some of them I have known for a lifetime (seriously since we were babies), some I've know for half my life, and others I've known for just a few years.  They live in San Diego, Omaha, New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Des Moines, New Jersey, Kansas City, Petersburg, VA and of all places, Hattiesburg, MS.  They are African American, Caucasian, Latino.  They are mothers, wives, executives, students, lawyers, stay at home Moms, and some are just plain employees.  Some are Deltas, some are AKA's.   They are older than me.  A few are related to me.  They are younger than me. Some I talk to everyday.  Most of them it doesn't matter how long it's been since we've talked, I can call them anytime and it's like we haven't missed a beat.                                                                  

Tracy Lynn, Me and Michelle in Hawaii

They accept me, they tell me when I'm wrong and affirm me when I'm right,  They cry with me (some have had to endure more tearful moments than others), they laugh with me (real big belly laughs), they listen to me, encourage me, share with me, comfort me, take trips with me, they know when I need a hug or a dinner invite to "get out of the house." They check on me, they pray for me, they pray WITH me, they know which foods I detest, they introduce me to new foods, they cook for me, they teach me and don't judge me if I don't get it right away. 

Me and my bestie/sister Nikki

They support me, but most of all they LOVE me and I LOVE them SO VERY MUCH.    Traci H.
