All of these hands belong to women who are strong, brave, loving, faithful. Who are loved and respected by their families, friends, communities. We visit with friends, volunteer at our kids' schools, make casseroles for stressed neighbours, water our lawns, play with dogs, balance our books. We worry about our kids, parents, mates and lumps. We pray, or at least, send out positive thoughts to and for our friends that we don't see all the time. We are all survivors, emerging scarred but triumphant from life's battles.
Every one of these women is beautiful.
thought provoking and touching - thank you
