I am surrounded by the most incredible women!
I hadn't seen her in the eight years since high school and what a difference. A business owner with almost 70 employees, starting her doctorate, property developer, all as a single mum with two very young kids.. Catching up felt just like the old days, but completely unlike them too. The extraordinary lives of ordinary people inspire me to no end. That's what we all are in the end, but what a huge difference unshakable faith in one's self makes.
A wonderful reminder and a great start to dealing with what lies ahead. Maybe next time I'll get to meet little A and X. I feel like an aunt without ever having met them. With a truly close friend, no matter how much time has passed you feel even closer when you do finally meet.
