Remember when we used to have all those dinners at your Grandparent’s house?  They were such fun, right?  All the women in the kitchen helping and laughing.  The men folk out in the living room watching TV and waiting to carve some big piece of meat.  Those were good times.  I woke up last night with this deep sense of comfort: those days are coming back to us.  We will have those days again and they will be that much sweeter because of the trials we have endured.  Believe it!  I do.  We are family and no one can change that. There’s a circle of life.  And life goes this way sometimes.  This had to be my sweet sisters. You needed to be away from me so YOU could decide what kind of women you want to be. You know now, what matters most to you.  Hopefully, when the time comes to step into adulthood, you’ll be ready to say ” I want my life to look like _____________.  And I’ll back you up, WHATEVER you decide.  Your happiness means the most to me.  You can always count on life coming back full circle.  Seventeen years ago, you joined our family, Purity and my life was forever changed.  When you came into the circle two years later, Bea – I held you in my arms and I felt such love.  Now, Baby Belle has joined our circle.  Believe that the circle is around us.  We are forever, entwined.
