And it's what people expect of me. Showing pain or hurt isn't what people want from me. They want me to be the rock and the glue. It's that, that makes me sad late at night in the privacy of my thoughts. It has always been this way with the women of our family. They've been the strength of all of us for generations and I carry that tradition on. Showing weakness isn't acceptable and I have to remind myself of that everyday when I get up. Great, Ma, and my mother would be highly disappointed if I let weakness or insecurity or my own unhappiness stop me from plowing ahead for the people who depend on me.

You need to allow yourself to be weak from time to time. To let the hurt in, so that it doesn't fester, allow yourself to feel pain so that in time you can heal. Like the old saying goes, "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger" You've been through a lot in your life and are still going thru it, day by day...but it's made you into the incredible person you are today. One that I'm proud to have on my side, one that I'm proud to call my friend. So, seize the day my friend, but at the end of it, should you feel like letting your shield down, know that it's ok.

I have a few. There's a big difference between friendly and friends. I've learned the difference a long time ago. And it's people like you I trust enough to know it all. Love you too!

Laughter is the greatest mask, it hides the stress, the tears and ache in your heart. But if there is a true connection, soul to soul, the real message is delivered. Please know that I'm always here for you. If you need to laugh and forget, I'm here....If what you need is to remember and cry, I'm here for that too.
