I may not have grown up in a house where a man was in charge because my father passed away when I was 4 but where I lacked a paternal figure, the women around me from then until today definitely made up for most of the void I felt. Starting with my mom, at 5 feet tall she was and still is my rock. There isn’t a time when I don’t go to my mother for advice. She cries with me, prays with me and rejoices with me when times are good. I couldn’t imagine what my life would be like without her. Then there is my little sister, we fight like cats and dogs and become each others guard dogs against anyone who dare cross the other. It is a complex yet simple relationship and she my voice of reason my little baby who no matter how old she gets she will be that my baby who I always need to protect. My older sister has gone through so many hurdles in her life and she has managed to come out victorious and smiling despite the physical and emotional scars. I would have been quite satisfied with having those three to guide me in life but I keep being blessed with more and more amazing women. There are many other amazing women in my family, with the  main one being my cousin Nathalie. I love you cuzzy wuzzy 🙂

Then there are my friends, you guys have made me open up about things I never though that I could be honest about. I am more vocal, less timid and less of of a pushover because of you. I am now comfortable in expressing myself and in my own skin that ever was. I know that I can rely on all of you whatever, whenever, however.

These women have helped me heal, laugh, cry. I am a better person because of them and I am forever grateful, so this post is dedicated to you all. ALL of you who no matter what, when times were tough, good were there for me. I truly appreciate it
