You empower me to attempt for greatness even in the midst of adversity as a result of that is what ladies do. We stability life, profession, motherhood, relationships, and social disadvantages and nonetheless handle to get stuff performed.
Looking again on my 20s is hard. That time of my life reshaped every part I knew about myself. I believed I’d achieved issues with the grace of God, onerous work, perseverance, and the endless will to succeed – which is partly true. When I feel again to the most stringent and most vital instances in my life, you will have been there; with a bottle of Champagne, an encouraging phrase, or Ben & Jerry’s or on the cellphone for hours listening to me with out judgment.
Until I met you, I’d by no means had girlfriends I felt have been genuinely rooting for me. I at all times felt an unstated competition with the girlfriends who got here into my life as a younger grownup. I additionally by no means did nicely with cliques.

You are usually not simply my pal; you might be the Gayle to my Oprah.
I perceive that being associates with me presents its challenges. I’m fiercely protecting, am socially awkward (I hate large teams of individuals), and by no means need to see you mistreated. My blunt and matter-of-fact supply isn’t at all times what you want to hear, so, I’m engaged on that. But I’ll by no means cease reminding you that you simply deserve the greatest out of life and the individuals you let into it. My friendship with you has taught me that every part is not black and white and that it’s OK to discover the grey areas that life throws our manner. Well, generally.
You and I see the world otherwise, which permits us to have spirited debates. I notice that social stigmas impression us individually, however our skill to hear each other’s perspective helps our friendship flourish. Our worldviews could also be completely different, however the one factor I do know for positive is that you’re my greatest pal. They say associates are the household we get to select. I’m perpetually grateful that our paths crossed. You are usually not simply my pal; you might be the Gayle to my Oprah.
Love,
